# Create Cargo From CoA Template

To efficiently create a cargo, and link them with CoAs, you can create a cargo based on a [CoA Template](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-6.13/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/contracts-of-affreightment/contract-of-affreightment-lines/template-cargoes). The CoA Templates are the *template cargoes* that are maintained in the **CoA** module.

### **Steps:**

1. Open the **Cargoes** module from the menu on the left.
2. In the top right corner, click **Create** <img src="https://1404085267-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Liw6C9Fe7rohFtkU25j%2F-M23XjciEP9F3xdDeDrE%2F-M23aB95JDSUt7kYOdWo%2Fcreate-24px.svg?alt=media&#x26;token=d69f2239-6a6c-48a4-ba17-ae0bb299c3d0" alt="" data-size="line">.
3. Select **Create New Cargo From CoA Template**.
4. In the modal, **select** a CoA template to create the new cargo. The fields that are pre-filled are the ones that were filled in when creating the CoA itself, which the new cargo will inherit.&#x20;
5. Click **Create**.

### The modal:

### Feature:

* The modal is now *draggable*, making it easier to see the information "behind" the modal. Hover over the title or the top of the modal to activate it.&#x20;
* Looks and works quite similar to [create-voyage-from-template](https://docs.dataloy.com/release-6.13/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/voyages/create-voyage/create-voyage-from-template "mention").
