**Prerequisites:** You have an active Tooling Metrics account and are logged in for the first time.  
**Required permission:** Site Admin. (If yours is the first account signing up on your company's email domain, Tooling Metrics already made you a Site Admin and created a starter organization for you automatically — this tutorial still applies if you want to configure it or add another.)

An **Organization** is the top-level container for all your data — users, tools, inventory, projects, and purchases. Everything you do in Tooling Metrics belongs to an organization.

## Steps

1. Click your organization name at the bottom of the sidebar → **Manage Organizations**, then click **+ Create**.
1. On the **Organization** step, optionally upload a **Logo**, then enter the **Name** (use your company or site name — it appears on printed documents and setup sheets).
1. Set the **Language**. This is the interface language for users who have not set their own.
1. Set the **Time Zone**. This affects how timestamps appear on documents and reports.
1. Optionally enter the base **Currency** as an ISO 4217 code, and choose the **Number format**, **Date format**, and **Time format**. Click **Next**.
1. On the **Company address** step, enter your company (*sold to*) address. Click **Next**.
1. On the **Warehouse** step, enter the **Warehouse name**, the **Access point name**, and the warehouse's delivery address.
1. Click **Create**.

You are now the **owner** of the organization — full access to everything, with no need for a Group.

## What to expect

The new organization appears in the Manage Organizations list. Because you entered everything up front, its setup is already complete, so you won't be sent to the setup wizard. Behind the scenes, Tooling Metrics also set up some defaults for you: two starter Groups, a full set of document-numbering Sequences, and USD as your base currency if you didn't enter one. Your organization has no users and no inventory data yet — that is expected. The next steps in this series adjust those defaults before your team starts adding data.
