# Barcodes

See a product's barcodes and the locations that hold its stock, view a barcode, and add new barcodes.

When a product's label is torn or a scan doesn't work, you need the product's barcode and the bins where it's kept. **Barcodes** in OrderEazi lists each product barcode with the locations that hold the product's stock, and how much is in each.

### Before you start

**Permissions:** You need **View and Use as Administrator** or **View and Use as Manager**, in the **Warehousing** permission group.

**Adding barcodes:** To add or change a product's barcodes, you also need **View Products** and **Create Products**, in the **Products** permission group.

### How to find a barcode

1. In the warehouse menu, select **Management** > **Barcodes**.
2. Fill in any of these:
   * **Warehouse:** This is the warehouse to search, or **All**.
   * **Stock Item:** This is the product's code, or part of its description. You can't search by the barcode itself.
   * **Location:** This is a bin, such as A-07.
   * **Search Exact:** Tick this to find only the code exactly as you typed it. Clear it to search descriptions too.
   * **Search Historic (Qty <= 0):** Tick this to include locations with no stock left.
3. Select **Filter**.

Each row is one barcode at one location. It shows the **Barcode**, the product's **Code** and **Description**, and the **Location**. **Available Qty** is what you can still sell, and **Actual Qty** is what's on the shelf. A product with stock in three bins shows three rows for each of its barcodes.

To clear your search, select **Reset Filter**. To download the list as a spreadsheet, select **Export**.

**Example:** A picker can't scan the label on a CHAIR-01 carton. You type "CHAIR-01" in **Stock Item**, tick **Search Exact**, and select **Filter**. CHAIR-01 has the barcode 6009801234567, with 40 units in A-07 and 120 in BULK-03. You select **View Barcode**, and the picker scans it from the screen.

### How to view a barcode

In the row, select the gear, then **View Barcode**. The barcode is shown with the product's **Code** and **Description**, ready to scan from the screen.

### How to add a barcode to a product

Barcodes belong to the product, not to a location. They're added on the product, and by product imports and accounting system syncs.

1. In a row for the product, select the gear, then **Edit**. The product's **Product Barcodes** page opens, with its **Active Barcodes** and **Disabled Barcodes**.
2. Select **Add Barcode**.
3. Enter the **Barcode:**.
4. Enter the **Barcode Quantity:**, which is how many units one scan counts as, such as 12 for a carton barcode.
5. Select **Save**.

To stop using a barcode, select **Update** in its row to disable it. To print a product barcode, select **Print** in its row.

### What it does not do

**Only products with a stock level:** A product only shows here if it has a stock level in a location. To see every barcode of a product, open its **Product Barcodes** page.

**No changes to stock:** You can't change quantities here. Use [Stock Level Adjustments](/central/warehouse-management/stock/stock-level-adjustments.md).
