# Choose Available MIN

The **Choose Available MIN** option is used when you want to choose a specific MIN to pull from inventory. This option is available from the MIN 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.
- 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.
- Window displayed when you **Edit** an existing inventoried service from the customer’s account.

The **Choose Available MIN** option is only enabled if **Application > CostGuard Client > Customer Management > Customers > Catalog Items > Choose MINs** is enabled in your Permission Profile. If this is not enabled, the MIN selector button may still display, but only the Get Available MIN option is visible; the Choose Available MIN option is not displayed.
