# 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-8.16/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/chartering/contracts-of-affreightment/contract-of-affreightment-lines/maintain-a-contract-of-affreightment-line/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://content.gitbook.com/content/uZ9lzqgHX4JL1Df67xog/blobs/1ydDqPILaXWojs1rrFAo/create-24px.svg" 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-8.16/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/voyages/create-voyage/create-voyage-from-template "mention").
