Adding required products to work types saves you time and keeps your business processes consistent. Work orders and work order line items inherit their work type’s required products.

For example, if all light bulb replacement jobs require a ladder and a light bulb, add the ladder and light bulb as required products to your Light Bulb Replacement work type. When it’s time to create a work order for a customer’s light bulb replacement, applying that work type to the work order adds the required products.

Here’s how to add a required product to a work order, work order line item, or work type.

1. Navigate to the record that needs required products.
2. In the Products Required related list, click **New**.
3. Use the lookup field to select a product.
4. Enter the quantity required.
5. Select a quantity unit of measure.
6. Click **Save**.
