# Create objects from a work order

You can create an object directly from a work order.

This is useful when you discover a new asset while planning or processing work.

### Why use this flow

The new object is created in context.

That makes it easier to link the object to the right customer and work order.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the work order

Open an existing work order in the BackOffice.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Open the object section

Go to the object tab or object section on the work order.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add a new object

Choose the option to create a new object.

If available, start from a template.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill in the object details

Check the customer.

Then enter the object code, description, and any extra details.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Save the object.

It is then linked to the work order.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# 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 current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://knowledge.out-smart.com/marketplace-packages-and-power-ups/power-ups/object-management/create-objects-from-a-work-order.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
