# Create transport orders

Transport orders combine one or more containers into a transport. Create transport orders using the following methods:

- Manually from the **Container Worksheet**.
- Manually using the **Link Container** function from a transport order.

## Steps - Create transport order manually from the Container Worksheet

The following steps are based on an inventory pick, but the process applies to all put-away and pick documents.

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Inventory Pick**, and click the relevant link.
2. Select an inventory pick and click **Edit** to modify it.
3. Click **Container Worksheet** to open the **Container Worksheet** page.
4. Select an existing container line and click **Create Transport Order** to create a transport order, or click **Link Existing Transport Order** to link an existing one.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note** The **Link Existing Transport Order** action still creates a new transport order when the address on the container does not match the address on the existing transport order.

## Steps - Create transport order manually using the Link Container function

The following steps are based on outbound containers, but the process also applies to inbound containers.

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Transport Order**, and click the relevant link.
2. Click **New** to create a transport order.
3. Specify the **Document Type** as **Outbound** and specify the **Location Code** and **Customer No.** as required. Complete the remaining fields.
4. Click **Link Container** on the **Home** tab to open the **Container** page. This page shows all available containers assigned to the related customer. Most fields on the transport order header serve as filters to show the correct containers.
5. Select one or more lines and click **OK** to add the containers to the transport order.
