Purchased Item Barcodes can be found in the 'Barcodes' Column of the [Items Grid](/doc/docs/smart-ops-items-overview-security) and the [Recipes Grid](/doc/docs/recipe-items-page) as well as within the [Purchased Item Record](/doc/docs/purchased-item-record-overview-security). When an additional Barcode needs to be connected to a Purchased Item or Recipe, Users can add a new Barcode to the Item. When a Barcode was added in error or is no longer needed, Users can delete Barcodes from Items/Recipes. Users can Add and Delete Barcodes from the Items Grid, Recipe Grid, or the Purchased Item Record. --- ## Security In addition to [Inventory Count Permissions required to utilize Barcode Scanning](/doc/docs/r365-app-barcode-scanning-inventory-counts#security), Adding and Deleting Barcodes requires Users to have access to **editing** Purchased Items and Recipes. The Permissions listed here are associated with Adding and Deleting Barcodes. These Permissions can be added to Custom User Roles or single Users. Learn more about [managing Permissions and Custom User Roles here](/doc/docs/custom-user-roles). Recipe and Item Permissions are found in the Permission Tree as follows: - Food - Purchased Items - View Purchased Items - Edit Purchased Items - Create Purchased Items - Delete Purchased Items - Recipes - View Recipes - Edit Recipes - Create Recipes - Delete Recipes The [Generating a Permissions Access Report](/doc/docs/generating-a-permissions-access-report) can be used to determine which [User Roles](/doc/docs/custom-user-roles) or [Users](/doc/docs/user-record-overview) already have these Permissions assigned.
