The work types register is simply a list of the different types of work executed on the project. A work code is two characters long and is used to group similar lots together and can also be used to create the default lot number when you create a new lot.

Related Items
Work types can be linked to schedule items. This can be used to restrict the number of schedule items users must select from when adding quantities to a lot. For more information on how this works, refer to Schedule Item Links.
To add a schedule item, double click the Schedule Items heading in the related items panel (if it is not visible, select "show related items panel" from the context menu). A schedule item popup list will appear. Drag the schedule items(s) you want to link onto the Schedule Item heading in the related items panel.
The list of linked ITPs is not a direct relationship, it is inferred by an ITP and work types share link with a schedule item and as such cannot be changed.
