SkuVault Accounting Features

SkuVault’s advanced reporting feature is designed to provide accountants with up-to-date and accurate reporting that’s transferable across accounting software integrations. The goal of each report is to create better forecasting, and as a result, a greater ROI. And the best part? There’s no manual data entry involved. Save time and make more money – free from human error – along the way.

Better reporting means better and more informed business decisions

  • Sales History Report: export sales by date or sales by SKU to send to your bookkeeper. Sales history reports are available to view in SkuVault itself, or exported into a CSV file. Sales reports take all reports from every sales channel and gather them into one report.
  • Historical Inventory: export quantities on a specific date
  • Purchase Order export: export all purchase orders with ordered/received quantity. Using an inventory management system in tandem with an accounting software integration eliminates the risk of human error. When you coordinate purchase orders with sales reports, you’re only sourcing products from the supplier that will deliver the best ROI.
  • Audit Discrepancy Report: this report tracks dependencies that occur once a location has been counted.
  • Replenishment Report: shows what needs to be purchased (before quantities dip too low) and displays gross financials. Quantities automatically update in SkuVault to let you know how much quantity you have in each warehouse.
  • Class/Brand Report: aggregate sales by classification or brand to determine which brands sold best.
