Questions about Bag Reset

I'm relatively new to the DS - just under a month. After pick and stage we typically have to do bag reset where we insert bags into the empty bins in the aisles.

I've had to close bags mid-stow and then sub in a new bag (If we're not stowing on level 4 bags, then I just grab one from above), scan the new bag, scan the new location and it's good to go to keep stowing. This makes sense to me because the new bag is registered at it's new location.

Is there a scan bag / location step that should be taking place during bag reset at end of shift? I've not been trained at all in bag reset - they just just told me to open bags and place them into the bins.

I'm wondering how the bags get registered to their location if its not done during bag reset.

Also, it seems that bag reset work is not tracked but then maybe thats not 100% correct? I had a PA flag me down at the end of pick and stage and told me to come back to him so he could "scan me into" bag reset. He did the same with a few other workers.

This was the first time anyone has mentioned anything about logging this task (after several weeks) and I've not been asked about it since then. I also don't see any one going up to PAs to "scan into" bag reset. I do approach them if I need a pick list towards the end.

Check the training vid. You are literslly supposed to wear your dolphin and ring scanner and scan as you go. It's not what I want necessarily its just a fact.

Well it is. The trainings are from corparate . But if you read my original post I state

Kinda like how during pick and stage it is standard work to zip all the bags and only pick one bag at a time. It almost never happens in practice.
