Manage Inventory with Sessions in VoriOS

Inventory sessions let you make bulk inventory updates across multiple products in a single, trackable workflow — instead of updating items one at a time. Start a session on the floor, scan or search for items, record your changes, then either commit everything instantly or send it to a manager for review in the Back Office.

Add items to your session

Once your session is open, you can add items in two ways: Scan an item barcode — point the handheld’s camera at a product’s barcode to add it instantly. Search for an item — tap the search icon (🔍) in the top right to search by product name. Items already added to the session are marked In Session so you can spot them at a glance. After selecting an item, enter the quantity and tap Save. The screen shows you the Current on-hand count, the quantity you’re Adding (or counting/removing), and the resulting New total. Repeat for every item you want to include. Your session list updates as you go.

Review and submit your session

When you’re done adding items, tap Submit and Review. You’ll see a summary of the session:

• Mode (Count, Shrink, or Restock)
• Started by — the user who opened the session
• Items — total number of products included
• Departments — breakdown of which departments are affected

You have two options to finalize: Submit for review — sends the session to the Back Office for a manager or teammate to review before any inventory is updated. No changes are applied until someone commits the session there. Commit all inventory now — skips the review step and applies all inventory changes immediately. The session closes for all users as soon as you confirm. Once committed, you’ll see a Session committed confirmation on the Inventory screen.

Review sessions in the Back Office

If a session was submitted for review, a manager can open it in the Back Office to inspect the changes before committing.

1. In the Back Office, go to Inventory & Supply Chain → Inventory Sessions.
2. Find the session — sessions submitted for review show the status In Review.

3. Click into the session to see a full product table: department, barcode, product name, quantity entered, and the resulting on-hand count.
4. When everything looks right, click Commit Session to apply the inventory changes.

✏️ Note: Only one person needs to commit a session. Once committed, the session closes and inventory updates immediately across the system.
