# Inventory Advice

1. Navigate to the **Transactions** tab.

2. Click **Create** **New**.

3. Select your Trading Partner, then click **Continue**.

4. Select **I don't have a source document**.

5. Select either **Receiving Advice** or **Inventory Advice**, then click **Continue.**

The **Inventory Advice** form will generate and you can begin to fill out the fields. Remember, required fields are designated with a star to the left of the field name.

You can also use the Auto-Sourcing feature to automatically populate fields specific to certain trading partners. Additionally, creating reusable templates can save time by pre-filling standard fields for each new document.

If you do not see the **Inventory Advice** as an option for a Trading Partner, please reach out to SPS Commerce Customer Support. A representative can confirm if this document is required for your Trading Partner.
