# Using the Barcode Scanner to Complete a Shipment

Using a Barcode scanner, you can scan parts to complete the To Ship column of a Shipment. The scanner will read the barcode of a part, and for each scan, the To Ship column will populate.

To generate barcodes for products, please see [Products with Barcodes](https://docs.avontus.com/docs/productsserial-number-with-barcode)

You will need to connect your barcode to your laptop using the wire provided with the scanner, and you’ll need the printed bar codes.
