# Register a pre-process activity

Pre-process activities represent activities that must be performed before production and are generated for released production order components. Register pre-process activities as each activity is completed. For more information on pre-process activities, see [Pre-process activities](/business-central/docs/bc-pre-process-activities).

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Pre-Process Activities**, and then choose the related link.
2. Open the relevant pre-process activity.
3. Enter the quantity of the specified production component you want to process (and a lot number if necessary) on the activity lines. If you are processing several item lots, enter a different lot on each line.

Depending on setup, posting an associated blending order may automatically populate the pre-process activity lines with the necessary information.
4. On the **Actions** tab, in the **Functions** group, choose **Register**.
5. Choose **Yes**. The activity lines are registered.

Registering a pre-process activity instructs the program to move the item on the activity lines from the pre-process inbound bin to the outbound bin. The pre-process activity remains open if there is an additional quantity to process.
