Note

A common area work order is any work order that has a defined item without a Unit entered within the Item's Unit cell.

 

Note

Work orders can be both a common area and a unit based request.  Items can be added to the work order with or without a Unit entered.  Printing a blended work order causes a report to have a section for common area items and a section for any items linked to a Unit.
