# Creating new PLSS Systems

Take noteThis overview will explain how to create a new PLSS System.

Before you can create a System, i.e., an Equipment with Equipment Group "PLSS System", its parent, System FLOC, has to be present in the IMS-PLSS database.

## Creating System-FLOCs

To create a FLOC see [Creating PLSS FLOCs](/v410/docs/creating-plss-flocs). Make sure to select "PLSS SYSTEM-FLOC" for the Location Type.

1. From the System-FLOC [Details Page](/v410/docs/ims-details-page-options) by clicking on **+New Equipment.**

Then the Parent Id (the "PLSS SYSTEM FLOC" Id) is already filled in, and the "PLSS SYSTEM " Equipment Group is already selected.
