# Creating field service tasks

Tasks in Odoo Field Service can be created manually or automatically, including from sales orders or
helpdesk tickets.

## Manual task creation

To create a new field service task:

1. Open the Field service app and go to {menuselection}`Field Service --> All Tasks --> All Tasks`.
2. Click {guilabel}`New`.
3. Fill in the task title, {guilabel}`Customer` and any other {ref}`optional field <task_creation/task-configuration>`,
   then save manually.

## Task creation from a sales order

This feature allows for field service tasks to be automatically created from a sales order. When you
create a quotation with the {ref}`service product <sales/invoicing/configured-service-product>`
and confirm it, a task is automatically created in your Field Service project. Click the
{guilabel}`Tasks` smart button to access it from the sales order.

## Task creation from a helpdesk ticket

If you have the Helpdesk app installed, you can {ref}`create field service tasks from a helpdesk
ticket <helpdesk/field>`.
