Technically, they are the same, but at different stages. A work request is submitted by someone, and if it is approved, it can be converted to a work order. Sort of like how a bill becomes a law.
There are 6 statuses of a work order :
Work request
Work request - approved
Work request - denied
Work order - scheduled
Work order - canceled
Work order - complete
SOMAX differentiates Add Work Request and Add Work Order on the Plus Sign so that Users who are Work Requesters can enter requests for Maintenance.
