# Add New Service Number To Inventory

The **Add New Service Number To Inventory** option lets you assign a service number that is not in inventory and subsequently add that service number to inventory. This option is available from the Service Number selector button provided in the following windows:

- New Customer Wizard and Add Service(s) & Feature(s) Wizard:
  - New Service window displayed when you **Assign** an inventoried service.
  - Service Number window displayed when you **Edit** an inventoried service that has been added to the current order (displayed in Orders portion of window).
  - Service Details window displayed for an inventoried service.
- Change Service Number Wizard, when modifying the service number assigned to an inventoried service.
- Service Number window displayed when you **Edit** an existing inventoried service that is assigned a temporary service number.

This option is also available from the **Options** button provided in Duplicate Service window in the Duplicate Service Wizard, when duplicating an inventoried service.

The **Add New Service Number To Inventory** option is only enabled, if the "Allow Additions to Inventory" option is selected for this inventory (see [Service Number Inventories](/v1/docs/service-number-inventories)) and **Application > CostGuard Client > Inventory Management > Service Number Inventory > Service Numbers > New** is enabled in your Permission Profile.

To assign a service number that is not in inventory, and subsequently add that service number to the inventory assigned to the service:
  1. Click the Service Number selector button and select **Add New Service Number To Inventory**. This enables the Service Number field.
  2. Enter the service number you want to assign to this service. A maximum of 30 alphanumeric characters are allowed.

A check mark is placed in front of the **Add New Service Number To Inventory** option in the Service Number selector button menu.
  3. If you want to return to the original value that appeared in the Service Number field when this window was initially displayed, right-click on the Service Number selector button and select **Add New Service Number To Inventory**. The check mark is removed from the menu and the Service Number field is updated to include its original value.
