# Manufacturer selection upon item receipt via mobile device

Life Sciences Warehouse Management allows users to specify the [manufacturer](/life-sciences/docs/manufacturers) for the received batch and sub-batches upon purchase order receipt via mobile device.

This functionality is available for menu items with one of the following work creation processes:

- Purchase order item receiving
- Purchase order line receiving
- Purchase order item receiving and put away
- Purchase order line receiving and put away

To enable this feature, set the **Display manufacturer list** parameter to **Yes** in the relevant **Mobile device menu item** form (**Warehouse management > Setup > Mobile device > Mobile device menu items**).

Additionally, set the **Manufacturer selection list** parameter in the **General** tab of **Warehouse management parameters** form (**Warehouse management > Setup > Warehouse management parameters**) as follows:

- **Approved manufacturers**: Only the approved manufacturers for the received item can be selected upon receipt.
- **All manufacturers**: All manufacturers are displayed in the app, and any of them can be selected upon receipt.

If the **Display manufacturer list** parameter is enabled, the user can specify the manufacturer for each batch received via mobile device. If a manufacturer is already selected at the purchase order line level, that manufacturer will be defaulted in the app, but users can override the value. If a batch has already been received, modifying the manufacturer value will not be possible.
