+  * **Items, picklist checks and stocktakes checkbox:** If this is checked, mSupply will use barcode scanners when receiving goods, stocktaking, picklist checking and when editing items. See the [[barcode_scanning:adding_barcodes_to_items|]], [[barcode_scanning:receiving_goods|]], [[barcode_scanning:pick_checking|]] and [[barcode_scanning:stocktaking|]] pages for details.
+  * **Prescriptions checkbox:** If checked, barcode scanners can be used with prescriptions. See the [[dispensing:prescription_entry|]] page for details.
