# createOrganization

mutation · in the family [Organization structure](/reference/organization-structure/)

## What it does

Create a new organization — one store or business unit in your group at your organization.

Create an Organization + its ENTIRE min-1 facility chain in the caller's org group — the CostCentre + the org + the first PF (referencing an EXISTING active PFL, tenant-scoped server-side) + first LF + first Zone + first Bin, in ONE atomic operation; requires the unrestricted capability.

## Who may call it

Capability area: **Organization structure** — Opening and closing organizations and facilities — the legal and physical structure of your group.

- Owner
- System Administrator
- An API key whose scope allows `api:createOrganization`

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `input` | [NewOrganizationInput](/types/NewOrganizationInput/) `NewOrganizationInput!` | yes | No further notes. |

## Returns

[OrganizationCreation](/types/OrganizationCreation/) `OrganizationCreation!` — The composite org-create result — the org + its whole min-1 chain, ALL born in ONE atomic operation. The CostCentre rides organization.costCentre as its sysId.
