A SKU (stock keeping unit) is a unique ID code assigned to each distinct product variant to track inventory.
SKUs enable accurate inventory tracking, efficient order processing, and better supply chain management.
SKUs should contain product information like name, color, size, and other attributes to distinguish product variants.
Use consistent formatting, separators, and attribute codes to keep SKUs organized yet concise.
Best practices include keeping them short, avoiding special characters, and leveraging attribute codes for easy identification.
As you add new product variants, be sure to assign them SKUs using your existing naming conventions.
Yes, an organized SKU system leads to better inventory tracking, purchasing decisions, order fulfillment and more!
