## Require barcode scanning for installations

When this setting is on, you can only install inventory by scanning a barcode. Manual inventory selection is disabled. You can designate one role that can bypass the restriction.

1. In ION, go to **Settings > Production > aBOMs**.
2. Turn on **Disable manual inventory installations**.
3. Optional: In the **Role allowed to bypass install restrictions** field, select the role that can still install inventory manually.
