If users have the same types of multiple Workstations (Machines) and users want to auto-assign jobs to the available workstation based on workstation type then this feature is the good option for them. A Workstation Type document will allow you to set the same operating cost to multiple operations by just setting the Workstation Type in the Operations table in [BOM](https://docs.frappe.io/erpnext/user/manual/en/bill-of-materials) or [Routing](https://docs.frappe.io/erpnext/user/manual/en/routing).
