# Creating a Multi-Leg Container Booking with an empty leg
## Steps required for creating multi-leg container bookings including an empty leg.
Creating a multi-leg booking with Yojee is a simple process. Let's say you need to book a container for multiple legs of transportation. In this scenario for an export, the container will be initially delivered empty, then packed by the customer and forwarded from there.
### Step 1 - Setup your Item Type and Order Template
- **Configure your [item type](https://help.yojee.com/knowledge/item-types-management?hsLang=en)** by navigating to ***Manage \> Orders \> Item Types***, and create your containers, ensuring you set the [item as a container](https://help.yojee.com/knowledge/container-details-and-item-types?hsLang=en).
- **Create an [order template](https://help.yojee.com/knowledge/templates?hsLang=en)** for multi leg container orders. Navigate to ***Manage \> Orders \> Order Templates***, and either edit an existing template, or create a new template. Review the template as per your requirements, and ensure the following fields have been correctly setup:
- **Default Packing mode** = 'Container'
- **Template Properties**
- **Number of legs** - 2
- **Select Empty Legs as** - Leg 1
- **Allow dispatcher to add more legs** (Optional)
### Step 2 - Download Order Template, Populate and Create
Once you are happy with the order template, you can begin to create your orders.
1. **Download Template** - Navigate to***Items \> Create Order \> Upload CSV File***
- Select the multi leg container order template you created from the dropdown, and click either XLSX or CSV to download the template to populate
2. **Populate the downloaded template** with order details, Leg 1 (set as empty) will be the empty container delivery, Leg 2 will be the filled container. Ensure mandatory fields (marked with \*) are populated.
3. **Upload Populated Template** (Navigate to***Items \> Create Order \> Upload CSV File***)
- Select the multi leg container order template you created from the dropdown, upload the populated file and 'Save Order'
You have now created a multi leg order, with leg 1 being marked as "Empty"
