If you make or assemble what you sell, you've been stitching the production side together by hand — drawing down raw-material stock in one place, adding finished units in another, and working out what each batch actually cost in a spreadsheet. SKU now does all of it for you. Manufacturing lets you define a recipe once, run a manufacturing order to turn components into finished goods, and have SKU consume the raw materials, receive the finished product into stock, and post the accounting — automatically, every time you produce.

When a customer has a store credit on file and a sales order they haven't paid yet, the obvious thing to do is use one to settle the other. Until now that took several manual steps — recording a fake payment, remembering to mark the credit as used, and reconciling both sides by hand. Applying Store Credit to Sales Orders turns that into a two-click flow: open the order's Payments tab, pick the credits to apply, and SKU records the allocation, updates the order's balance, and keeps the credit's remaining balance in sync — all in one go.

If you import from overseas, order custom tooling, or pay any supplier a deposit before production starts, you already know the awkward gap: the cash leaves your account weeks before a bill exists, and SKU had nowhere to put it. Until now that money lived in a spreadsheet or got hacked in as a negative bill line — which quietly corrupts your costs. Vendor Deposits closes the gap. It's a new first-class document that lets you record a prepayment, pay it, track it against the purchase order, and automatically net it off the supplier's bill when it finally lands.

When a supplier issues a credit — for returned goods, a pricing correction, a damaged shipment, or a volume rebate — where does it go? Until now, the honest answer was usually a spreadsheet, or a manual journal entry in QuickBooks that SKU never saw. There was no record tying the credit back to the original purchase order, no way to apply it against a future bill, and no clean reversal of inventory cost. Vendor Credits changes that: a supplier credit is now a proper document in SKU, with a full lifecycle, that you can apply to bills, reconcile, and sync to your accounting platform.
