If the scanned barcode **matches** an item in the database, the item description will be displayed (see blue highlight below).

If the scanned barcode **does not match** anything in the database, only the barcode will be shown with no description (see green highlight below).

To **edit the quantity** of a scanned item, **tap the item** to open the quantity editor.

You can then **enter the new quantity** manually or use the **plus (+)** and **minus (–)** buttons to adjust the amount.

Select **OK** to confirm and save your changes.
