# Getting started

> Take the following steps to set up your inventory of credits and environmental attributes.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add issuances to your credit inventory">
    You will need to add credits to each project’s inventory, in order to fulfill customer orders from this inventory.

    * Within the **Issuances** section of a project's **Credit Inventory**, create an Issuance or a Forecast
    * **Create Issuance** adds a spot issuance to the project’s inventory
    * **Forecast Issuance** adds a single, or repeating, forecasts of credit issuances for future production periods
    * Read more about issuances here
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a customer">
    In the Customers section - add a new customer and their preferred currency.

    * Orders recorded for this customer will have the currency set as the default
    * Save contacts, and important information about the customer's registry accounts
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record the customer's order with its expected delivery schedule">
    * In the Orders section, use New Order to create an Order for the customer
    * Add deliveries to the order to divide the order across a schedule of deliveries
    * The Order Status of the order determines whether the credits committed are considered reserved/sold and therefore not available for other orders
  </Step>
