How-to: Conduct a transfer correction
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.
Before you start
- Gather the upload ID of the transfer you have completed that needs correcting. This may have been emailed to you or displayed on the screen after you moved livestock onto or off your PIC on the database. Alternatively, you can retrieve the upload ID from the ‘View my transaction history’ report.
- Locate details of the transfer that may need correcting e.g. the PICs you are transferring between, the date the stock movement occurred and the NVD number should also be included. You may also need a list of devices if there was an error in data entry of these numbers.
- Log in to the NLIS database at nlis.com.au with your username and password.
*QUICK TIP: A myMLA account can provide access to your NLIS and LPA accounts with just one username and password. Link your accounts today.

How-to: Step-by-step
Step 1
Once logged in, select the species you are working with which will be either cattle, sheep (individual) or goats (individual). Under the ‘Notify the database of:’ section, select the action 'Transfer correction'. Click Go.
Step 2
The database offers three options to correct a transfer:
- Edit one or more transfers in an upload: this allows you to edit details for one device in the transfer or all of the devices in the transfer.
- Remove one or more transfers in an upload: this enables you to delete one or more devices from your transfer. The devices ‘removed’ will be placed back onto the source PIC.
- Remove all of the transfers in an upload: this enables you to roll back the transfer and place all the devices onto the source PIC.
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.
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’.

Step 4
Confirm that the edits or devices to be removed are correct, then submit the information to the database by clicking ‘Send’.
*QUICK TIP: You can only correct a transfer once, so before you send any changes to the database, check the 'Confirm details' screen carefully.
Step 5
On the receipt screen, you can click 'View my transaction history' to check the upload status of the correction.
