# Set up a location for commodity receiving

If you want to use commodity manifests to receive commodity items into a particular location, you can set up that location with certain defaults.

When you open the **Commodity Manifest** page to record the receipt of a commodity item, you must enter a location filter. The program uses the location's commodity setup to determine some of the values on the commodity manifest.

> [!NOTE]
> Note
> 
> Commodity transactions must be processed in a single-document, bin-controlled location. This means the location must not be set up to use warehouse receipts, shipments, picks, or put-aways, but it must be set up as Bin Mandatory.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Locations**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the location where you want to enable commodity receiving. On the **Home** tab, in the **Manage** group, choose **Edit**.
3. On the **Commodities** FastTab, assign the default bin and item you want to use for commodity receiving in that location.
