I need a way to be able to scan a barcode that will allow me to add or decrease inventory quantity to an existing inventory item. For example.  "I have SKU#123 in the system showing quantity of 10, I scan a barcode assigned to that SKU and add 10 more making the total quantity 20 and have that reflect on my QuickBooks inventory account.

QBO cannot accommodate it.  You need to look into 3rd-party apps that integrate with QBO.
