If you need stockroom types that are not included in the base system, you can create
a custom stockroom type.

## Before you begin

Role required: inventory_admin

## About this task

Check the [priority level](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/DabvCmSA0SzNxIFP3qkIEg "Stockroom types are categories of stockrooms.") of the stockroom types provided in the base instance to ensure that you assign the correct priority level to any new stockroom types you create. You can also modify the
stockroom types included in the base system.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllInventoryStockStockroom Types and create a new record (see table for field descriptions).
