# Control supply from project

This setting switches between standard inventory handling (**off**) and Industrial Equipment Manufacturing inventory handling (**on**).

When this setting is **off**, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's standard behavior applies. A purchase receipt is immediately consumed in the project as an inventory negative adjustment. When the **Industrial Equipment Manufacturing Planning Line TypePlanning** is also selected in the purchase order line, the planning line is created as per Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central's **Usage Link** functionality.

When this setting is **on**, handling of items of the type **Inventory** uses two steps:

1. Receive in inventory.
2. Post consumption or delivery from the project planning line.
  - Depending on the location's warehouse settings, inventory must first be picked to the **To-Project Bin Code**.

Because project supply orders are reserved with **Order-to-Order** binding, the inventory (item ledger entries) is also reserved and can be reported as "Expected WIP." This makes it possible to handle inventory through the warehouse when items need to be delivered to a project site.

You can set the **Control Supply from Project** setting in the base template as well as in the **Project card**.
