# Assign an Inventoried Service

To assign an inventoried service:

1. Right-click on the desired service and select **Assign**. This displays the New Service window.

![NewInventoriedService](https://cdn.us.document360.io/3f7f8ade-bcb1-4ec8-af25-0c0ad8601afb/Images/Documentation/24368(1).gif?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-14T11%3A12%3A43Z&se=2026-11-14T12%3A12%3A43Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=rBFU5ZbkHpl5mKBGiLxguPa0KMreFx4FNYkx95%2Br9%2BE%3D)

The New Service window for inventoried services functions the same as the New Service window for non-inventoried services, with following exceptions:

If you specified a Quantity of more than 1 in the Add Services window, the Service Number field and selector button options are disabled. The system automatically adds the next available service numbers in the specified inventory group to the customer's order when you click **Save.**
  - For non-inventoried services, enter the desired service number directly into the Service Number field. For inventoried services, use the selector button to the right of the Service Number field to assign a service number to this service.
  - If you are adding an inventoried wireless service, the MIN field cannot be modified. After selecting a service number, the system automatically populates the MIN field with next available MIN in inventory.
    - If you are adding an inventoried service, an **Actions** button is provided that enables you to modify the displayed service number and/or MIN. This **Actions** button only appears if one or both of the following permissions are enabled in your Permission Profile:
      - **Application > CostGuard Client > Inventory Management > Service Number Inventory > Service Numbers**
      - Wireless service only - **Application > CostGuard Client > Inventory Management > MIN Inventory > MINs**
2. If you specified a Quantity of 1 in the Add Services window, you can assign a service number from inventory by clicking the Service Number selector button:

If you are adding an inventoried wireless service(s), the system automatically populates the MIN(s) with next available MIN(s) in inventory.
  - If you want to assign the next available service number, select **Get Available Service Number**. See [Get Available Service Number](/v1/docs/get-available-service-number-1) for additional information.
  - If you want to choose which service number to pull from inventory, select **Choose Available Service Number.** See [Choose Available Service Number](/v1/docs/choose-available-service-number-1) for additional information.
  - If you want to assign a service number that is not in inventory and subsequently add that service number to the inventory assigned to this service, select **Add New Service Number To Inventory**. See [Add New Service Number To Inventory](/v1/docs/add-new-service-number-to-inventory) for additional information.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The **Add New Service Number To Inventory** option is only provided 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.
  - If you want to assign a temporary service number, select **Use Temporary Service Numbers**. The Service Number field is populated with a temporary service number - "XXXXXXXXXX".

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> The **Use Temporary Service Numbers** option is only provided if you are adding a non-wireless service AND that service allows temporary service numbers. The Allow Temporary Service Numbers check box must be selected for this service in the Product Catalog.
  - If you want to assign a service number that is not in inventory and subsequently add that service number to the inventory as a ported-in number, select **Create Ported-In Service Number.** See [Create Ported-In Service Number](/v1/docs/create-ported-in-service-number-1) for additional information.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> If you do not assign a service number and click **Save**, the system "fast assigns" a service number from inventory. See [Fast Assign an Inventoried Service](/v1/docs/fast-assign-an-inventoried-service) for additional information.
3. On each tab in the New Service window, enter any additional information that pertains to this service. See Assigning/Editing a Service - Main Tab, [Assigning/Editing a Service - Contact Information Tab](/v1/docs/assigning-editing-a-service-contact-information-tab), [Assigning/Editing a Service - Service Addresses Tab](/v1/docs/assigning-editing-a-service-service-addresses-tab), [Assigning/Editing a Service - Tax Information Tab](/v1/docs/assigning-editing-a-service-tax-information-tab), [Assigning/Editing a Service - E911 Information Tab](/v1/docs/assigning-editing-a-service-e911-information-tab), and [Assigning/Editing a Service - Port Requests tab](/v1/docs/assigning-editing-a-service-port-requests-tab) for a detailed description of the input fields provided in each tab in the New Service window.

The New Service window provides an **Actions** button for inventoried services that enables you to perform the following functions:
  - If you want to edit the information associated with the displayed service number, click the **Actions** button and select **Edit Inventoried Service Number**. The Edit Inventoried Service Number window is displayed. See [Editing an Inventoried Service Number](/v1/docs/editing-an-inventoried-service-number) for more information.

**Notes:**
    - The **Edit Inventoried Service Number** option is only provided if **Application > CostGuard Client > Inventory Management > Service Number Inventory > Service Numbers > Edit** is enabled in your Permission Profile. Otherwise, a **View Inventoried Service Number** option is provided.
    - The **Edit/View Inventoried Service Number** options are only enabled if a service number has been selected for this service and the displayed service number is actually in inventory. If the service was assigned a service number via the **Add New Service Number To Inventory** option described above, this option is disabled for the service until the order is submitted and the displayed service number is added to inventory.
  - If you are adding an inventoried wireless service and you want to edit the information associated with the displayed MIN, click the **Actions** button and select **Edit Inventoried MIN**. The Edit Inventoried MIN window is displayed. See [Editing an Inventoried MIN](/v1/docs/editing-an-inventoried-min) for more information.

**Notes**:
    - The **Edit Inventoried MIN** option is only provided, if **Application > CostGuard Client > Inventory Management > MIN Inventory > MINs > Edit** is enabled in your Permission Profile. Otherwise, a **View Inventoried MIN** option is provided.
    - The **Edit/View Inventoried MIN** options are only enabled, if the displayed MIN is in inventory.
4. Click **Save** to add the service(s) to the customer's order:
  - If you did not assign a service number or you specified a Quantity in the Add Services window that is greater than 1, the system "fast assigns" a service number from inventory. See [Fast Assign an Inventoried Service](/v1/docs/fast-assign-an-inventoried-service) for additional information.
  - The New Service window is closed and the new services are displayed in the Orders portion of the Add Services window.
