You do not need any special configuration or settings for your barcode scanner to work with MechanicDesk.
How it works
A barcode scanner functions just like a keyboard and usually connects via USB to the computer. When you click into a field (like an invoice line item) and pull the trigger, the scanner inputs the barcode number automatically. If that number matches an existing stock item, the item will instantly appear.
Managing stock barcodes
When editing a stock item, you have two options for assigning barcodes:
Input your own: Click into the field, then scan or type your barcode number.
Generate a barcode: Use the built-in option to automatically generate a barcode for that item.
Bulk Generation
If you have a large amount of inventory and don't want to do this one by one, we can bulk-generate barcodes for your stock items upon request. Just submit a support request to get this set up.
