After getting all your material digitized and edited you can begin the process of getting the film scanned and put into the DI phase. Avid's tool for creating scan lists is called FilmScribe and has been around for quite a while. Final Cut Pro has a similar tool. In terms of Avid, do the following.
Make a new bin and call it "FilmScribe" or something similar. Duplicate your timeline and drag it into the new bin. Rename the timeline to "Filmscribe_Date_Time" - for example Filmscribe_Oct21_3pm. This will help you keep track of what lists go with what timelines, which helps if there are changes or multiple exports.
Put all video tracks onto one layer if possible, it makes for a cleaner list. If you must have something on V2 (a picture in picture, etc) it will be ok for the scanning list output, but V2 will need to be exported separately for the .EDL (see later post about .EDLs).
Remove all match frames from the timeline. If you don't do this it will create multiple scans for the same shot which is not a good thing.
Save and close your FilmScribe bin.
Open the FilmScribe application, this is a separate program from the Avid. You can also go Output>FilmScribe, which launches the program.
