Welcome to TeX-SE! If your question is about a minimal damage modification of your code that produces something of that sort, here is a proposal:
documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]standalone
usetikzlibraryshadows,arrows,positioning
usepackagecolor,soul %For highlighting
% Define the layers to draw the diagram

path [line] (p1.south) -- +(0.0,-0.2) -- +(-2.5,-0.2)

endtikzpicture
enddocument

If you are asking about a cleaner code that achieves this output, the answer will be quite different. E.g. the following is already shorter and simpler IMHO.
documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]standalone
usetikzlibraryarrows,positioning
% Define block styles
tikzsetmateria/.style=draw, text width=6.0em, text centered,

begindocument
begintikzpicture[scale=0.7,transform shape]
beginscope[nodes=etape,font=bfseries]
node (p1) Operating Items;
node[left=6.5cm of p1] (p2) Non-Operating Items;
node[below=5mm of p2,xshift=8mm] (p3) Interest;
node[below=5mm of p3] (p4) Profits and Losses;
node[below=5mm of p4] (p5) Subsidies;
node[below left=8mm and 1mm of p1.south] (p6) Direct Operating Costs;
node[below right=8mm and 1mm of p1.south] (p7) Indirect Operating Costs;
endscope
% Draw arrows between elements

foreach X in 6,7

enddocument
That was exactly what I was searching for

Welcome to TeX-SE! If your question is about a minimal damage modification of your code that produces something of that sort, here is a proposal:
documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]standalone
usetikzlibraryshadows,arrows,positioning
usepackagecolor,soul %For highlighting
% Define the layers to draw the diagram
pgfdeclarelayerbackground
pgfdeclarelayerforeground
pgfsetlayersbackground,main,foreground
% Define block styles
tikzsetmateria/.style=draw, text width=6.0em, text centered,
minimum height=1.5em,
etape/.style=materia, text width=12em, minimum width=10em,
minimum height=3em, rounded corners,
texto/.style=above, text width=6em, text centered,
linepart/.style=draw, thick, color=black!30, -latex', dashed,
line/.style=draw, thick, color=black!30, -latex',
ur/.style=draw, text centered, minimum height=0.01em
% Define distances for bordering
newcommandblockdist1.3
newcommandedgedist1.5
newcommandetape[2]node (p#1) [etape]
#2
newcommandtransreceptor[3]%
path [linepart] (#1.east) -- node [above]
scriptsize #2 (#3);
begindocument
begintikzpicture[scale=0.7,transform shape]
% Draw diagram elements
path etape1textbfOperating Items;
path (p1.west)+(-6.5,0.0)etape2textbfNon-Operating Items;
path (p2.south)+(1,-1.0)etape3textbfInterest;
path (p3.south)+(0.0,-1.0)etape4textbfProfits and Losses;
path (p4.south)+(0.0,-1.0)etape5textbfSubsidies;
path (p1.south)+(2.5,-1.0)etape6textbfDirect Operating Costs;
path (p1.south)+(-2.5,-1.0)etape7textbfIndirect Operating Costs;
% Draw arrows between elements
foreach X in 3,4,5
- (pX.west);
path [line] (p1.south) -- +(0.0,-0.2) -- +(+2.5,-0.2)
-- node [above, midway] (p6);
path [line] (p1.south) -- +(0.0,-0.2) -- +(-2.5,-0.2)
-- node [above, midway] (p7);
endtikzpicture
enddocument

If you are asking about a cleaner code that achieves this output, the answer will be quite different. E.g. the following is already shorter and simpler IMHO.
documentclass[tikz,border=10pt]standalone
usetikzlibraryarrows,positioning
% Define block styles
tikzsetmateria/.style=draw, text width=6.0em, text centered,
minimum height=1.5em,
etape/.style=materia, text width=12em, minimum width=10em,
minimum height=3em, rounded corners,
line/.style=draw, thick, color=black!30, -latex'
begindocument
begintikzpicture[scale=0.7,transform shape]
beginscope[nodes=etape,font=bfseries]
node (p1) Operating Items;
node[left=6.5cm of p1] (p2) Non-Operating Items;
node[below=5mm of p2,xshift=8mm] (p3) Interest;
node[below=5mm of p3] (p4) Profits and Losses;
node[below=5mm of p4] (p5) Subsidies;
node[below left=8mm and 1mm of p1.south] (p6) Direct Operating Costs;
node[below right=8mm and 1mm of p1.south] (p7) Indirect Operating Costs;
endscope
% Draw arrows between elements
foreach X in 3,4,5
- (pX.west);
foreach X in 6,7
(pX.north);
endtikzpicture
enddocument
