The six product types in SKU.io — which carry inventory, how service and non-inventory items are expressed through flags, and how internal matrix variants differ from channel variable products	Product types explained
Configure a product's reorder point, default sourcing supplier, and opening stock balance	Set up a product's inventory settings
Link suppliers to a product, set per-supplier SKU, MOQ, lead time, target stock days and pricing tiers, and choose the default supplier that drives Default Cost and PO defaults	Manage a product's suppliers
Use the Units of Measure tab to designate one stock unit, add purchase and sales units with conversion factors, set display precision, and understand why the stock unit locks after inventory or BOM history	Configure a product's units of measure
Buy a liquid by the gallon and stock it by weight — set the product's density once and SKU.io works out every conversion for you, showing its arithmetic	Convert between volume and weight with density
Assign, prioritize, and set the default put-away bin for a product in each warehouse — and understand the warehouse-membership, put-away-capability, and deprecated-bin rules that govern them	Manage preferred storage bins
Override a product's nominal codes on the Accounting tab and set its default financial line type, and understand how both drive GL posting and revenue recognition	Set a product's accounting & financial line type
Convert products between standard, bundle, and kit — one at a time or in batch — auto-detect likely bundles and kits by their names, and see exactly why sale or assembly history blocks a conversion	Convert & auto-detect product types
A field-by-field lookup for a product's units of measure — the stock/purchase/sales flags, canonical auto-fill factors, the stock-UoM-change lock, every validation error, display precision, and the seam to the global UoM catalog	Units of measure reference
