Downloadable CSV Template

To ensure your upload is successful on the first try, we recommend using our pre-formatted template.

📥 Download the Vori Order Guide Import Template

✏️ Note: Once you have filled out the template, ensure you save it as a .CSV (Comma Separated Values) file before uploading.

Preparing Your Spreadsheet

Ensure your file contains the following four columns. The headers do not have to match exactly, but the data must be present.

Column Header Requirement Notes
Description Required The name of the product.
Vendor Item Code Optional If your vendor doesn't use these, leave blank.
Barcode Required The UPC or GTIN for the product.
Position Required The numerical order (1, 2, 3...) you want the item to appear.

💡 Tip: Your items can be in a random order on the spreadsheet. Vori will automatically sort them based on the numbers in the Position column.

How to Upload the CSV

  1. Navigate to Inventory & Supply Chain > Order Guides.

  2. Click the Upload button in the top right-hand corner.

  3. Select the Store Vendor from the dropdown menu and click Next.

  4. Upload your CSV file.

  5. Map the Columns: Vori will attempt to auto-map your headers. If they don't match, manually select the correct Vori field for each column. Click Next.

Reviewing and Committing Data

  1. Review Linked Data: Vori will flag invalid lines if a barcode or item code is not found in your store's product catalog.

    • You can remove the invalid lines to proceed.

    • Or, fix the data in your spreadsheet and re-upload.


  2. Commit Summary: Review the final count of items to be added.

  3. Commit: Click Commit. Your new guide will appear at the top of your Order Guides list.

Syncing to VoriOS

After clicking Commit, you must sync the data to your handheld device to begin ordering.

  1. Open the Guide: Click on the new guide in the Back Office to review the item sequence.

  2. Rename the Guide: Update the Name and Description so your team can easily identify it (e.g., "Produce - Main Guide").


  3. Handheld Resync: On your handheld device, tap Resync. The order guide will now be available for use on Vori OS.
