# Create a functional area type

Adds a category that functional areas can be filed under. Point a functional area
at it with `headcount_functional_area_type_id` on the create or update endpoint for
that area.
**A type created without `sort_order` comes back without that field**, rather than
with its stored default of `0`. Read the type back if you need its complete state.

Endpoint: POST /api/v2/headcount/functionalarea/type
Version: 2.0.0
Security: default

## Header parameters:

## Request fields (application/json):

  - `sort_order` (integer)
