# About Inventory Receive Reasons

The reasons for receiving inventory are managed in the POS Back Office Setup. Reason Descriptions are displayed along with a system-generated Reason ID. A reason for receiving inventory may be that it is routine replenishment or it is an overshipment that needs to be checked into existing inventory.
