Work orders are characterized by their type. The type is the classification criterion for work orders.
In analysis reports, you can view a breakdown of work orders by cost, duration, stoppage time, and type.

Examples of types:

• Internal Quality Control,
• Safety Inspection,
• Preventive Maintenance,
• Troubleshooting,
• ...

The grouping of work order types (or "type of work") is a higher level of categorization used especially to display costs by Cost center; see Cost center [General] [Dashboard] [General] [Dashboard].

The type of work order is used in the Work order [General] form.
