# Barcodes

The BarCodes screen allows to you assign BarCodes to StockManager products ready for using StockMate in scanning mode. Although you can assign products to the barcodes you scan using StockMate, you can also simply type in the barcodes into the columns on this screen. You can set up, or assign, up to six barcodes for each product. This allows for the grouping together of products, e.g. flavoured Breezers. It also allows for the bottle barcode to be defined as well as the barcode that might be on the outside of the case. Each barcode can also be given a factor so that, for example, the number of bottles in a case can be defined. When counting on StockMate, you can then enter the number of cases and the software will multiply up to give you the total number of bottles. The Consistency Check produces a report which shows you any duplicated barcodes in different products, and highlights if there are different factors on the same barcode.
