# Configuring inventory receiving settings

Maintain these settings to control how inventory receiving works for a retailer on NewStore inventory management.

> [!NOTE]
> Important
> 
> All items are received into the main `stock location` by default. NewStore does not support receiving inventory into any other stock location.
> 
> To move inventory to another stock location,
> 
> [adjust](/v1/docs/about-inventory-management#inventory-adjustments) inventory in your store.

## Enabling inventory receiving

Receiving inventory is disabled by default for all retailers.

To enable your stores and DCs to receive inventory for your business:

1. For Associate App, use this [configuration](https://docs.newstore.net/api-portal/#/http/inventory/inventory-configuration/show-inventory-config) method.
2. Specify the store IDs or a wild card `*` value for the `enabled_receiving_stores` or `enabled_receiving_without_asn_stores` properties.

## Enabling overreceiving with an ASN

When receiving with an ASN, by default NewStore Omnichannel Cloud does not allow associates to receive products that are not in the ASN or receive more than the expected quantity of a product in the ASN.

To allow overreceiving with an ASN:

1. Use the [Set inventory configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/inventory-management/inventory_manager_api/#tag/Configuration).
2. Specify the value for the `allow_asn_overreceiving` property as `true`.

> [!TIP]
> Note
> 
> This feature is disabled for all retailers by default, and the default value for this property is `false`.

## Enabling receiving without an ASN

By default, NewStore Omnichannel Cloud does not allow associates to receive products that do not have an associated ASN.

Use the [Set inventory configuration API](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/inventory-management/inventory_manager_api#operation/setConfiguration) to allow receiving without an ASN.

> [!TIP]
> Note
> 
> This feature is disabled for all retailers by default, and the default value for this property is `false`.

## Configuring manual quantity updates

You can allow associates to adjust the received quantity of inventory manually. This feature is enabled by default for all retailers.

To disable manual quantity updates across stores and DCs in your business:

1. For Associate App, use this [configuration](https://docs.newstore.net/api/configuration/inventory-fulfillment/inventory_configuration_api_config#tag/Associate-App-Configuration/operation/set_associate_app_router_config_associate_app_put) method.
2. Specify the value for the `allow_receiving_manual_quantity_editing` property as `true`.
