The Delete Operations function allows you to clear saved operations from the scanner if you make a mistake. This is especially helpful when you realize you scanned the wrong item or location and want to restart before syncing.
Important: You can only delete operations before syncing. Once a sync is completed, the scanner is considered cleared and no operations are stored.

When to Use Delete Operations
If you scan the wrong item or sub location during a pick, receive, or transfer.
If your stock levels show a negative balance due to an incorrect scan.
If you want to restart a workflow before syncing operations back to Finale.
How to Delete Operations
From the scanner’s Main Menu, select Option 12: Delete Operations.
-
Choose whether to:
Confirm deletion.
Restart the pick (or other workflow) from the beginning using the correct sublocation and item.
Key Tips
Always review your scans before syncing. Deleting operations only works before a sync.
Use Delete One when fixing a single mistake, or Delete All if you want to completely restart the process.
Once synced, the scanner’s memory resets—no further delete actions are necessary.
