# 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](/release-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/chartering/contracts-of-affreightment/contract-of-affreightment-lines/maintain-a-contract-of-affreightment-line/template-cargoes.md). 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/zjy4yJFZRJooU1EGrLs5/blobs/oyxPCZ0C2MkUCJTWGrOP/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 (CoA)](/release-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/voyages/create-voyage/create-voyage-from-template-coa.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dataloy.com/release-8.31/voyage-management-system/step-by-step-guides/cargoes/create-cargoes/create-cargoes-from-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
