Net carbs

Hello!
I am new to this group and the app! My question is regarding the “net carbs” feature. The app states that net carbs will subtract the fiber and sugar alcohols from the carb count, but when I scan the barcode for an item it only subtracts the fiber, not the sugar alcohols. I have tested this with several food items and it is the same every time - it lists the sugar alcohols under sugar and doesn’t subtract them. Has anyone else found this to be the case? How do you adjust for this is your daily carb count? Thank you!!

I just put the correct carb count or the amount to subtract in the Notes if that's the case. I don't have premium, so I have to do the net carbs math anyway, so I make sure Carbs and Fiber columns are beside one another so I can do the quick math. But for the sugar alcohols, it's gotta go in the notes. But then, I don't eat a lot of sugar alcohols, just for special occasions, so the process isn't too onerous.
