How to Generate and Scan Barcodes for Parts in BytePhase

Barcodes are part of BytePhase’s inventory management software, letting you generate, print, and scan a barcode for every spare part you stock – from the parts screen to the sales counter. Here’s how to set one up and use it.

How to Generate a Barcode for a Part

• Open the Parts tab in the sidebar.
• Click Add Part, or edit an existing part – the option to generate a barcode is on this screen.

• Click Generate Barcode. BytePhase encodes that part with a unique barcode and shows it in a pop-up.
• From the pop-up, print the barcode so you can scan it later at the sales counter.

• After closing the pop-up, click View Barcode to see the code again – the barcode number now shows in the input box next to the button.
• Clicking View Barcode reopens the same pop-up, where you can print it again at any time.
• Save the part – the barcode is now permanently assigned to it.

How to Scan a Barcode During a Sale

• Open the Sale tab in the sidebar to start a sale.
• Click the scan icon next to Add Part – a scanner pop-up opens.

• Scan the part’s barcode with a handheld scanner (or camera) and it’s added to the sale automatically.
• The same scan-to-add flow works when adding parts to a job or repair ticket.

That’s it! Barcodes make spare-parts tracking and billing faster, with fewer manual entry errors at checkout.
