5. If all items will be received into the same inventory location, you can use the **Default Receiving Location** option at the top so you don't have to select the location on each individual item.

6. If all items are not going to the same location, you can skip the default and just select the **Location** for each individual item.

7. For non-serialized inventory items, you will just update the number you are receiving in the **Receiving Now** field.

You can receive full amounts or partial deliveries.

8. For serialized inventory, you'll first enter the number you are receiving in the **Receiving Now** field just like for the non-serialized items and then enter identifiers in the **Serial Numbers** field for the amount that you received.
