A transfer of devices on the NLIS database may be edited or removed through a transfer correction only if the transfer is the most recent one recorded for an animal.
The transfer correction allows you to replace incorrect data with correct data such as the source or destination PIC, the NVD number or movement date. It will also enable you to remove devices from a transfer if they were incorrectly included or if the device number is incorrect.
If the transfer you need to correct is not the most recent, or if you notice an incorrect transfer of devices onto or off your PIC and did not conduct the transfer, you will need to contact your state or territory department to perform the correction for you.

Select what you want to do from the drop down menu, enter the upload ID of the transfer and click 'Continue'.
If you select to 'Remove all the transfers in an upload' the database will take you straight to step 4 of this how-to, so you can skip step 3.
The database will then provide a list of the devices included in the transfer and request that you indicate which devices you want to edit.
Edit one at a time: You can edit the details of one device by clicking on ‘Edit item’. In the pop-up window update the incorrect information and click ‘Submit’ to return to the device list. You will see the row will change to orange indicating that you have edited details. Then click ‘Continue’.
Edit more than one: Using the check boxes on the left of the NLISID column, you can tick the devices that need correcting and then click ‘Edit selected items’. In the pop-up window enter the correct information for the transfer and click ‘Submit’ to return to the device list. You will see the row will change to orange indicating that you have edited details. Then click ‘Continue’.
Remove one or more: Using the check boxes on the left of the NLISID column, you can tick the device/s to be removed from the transfer. Then click ‘Continue’.
