Stock Keeping Unit

SKU

Unique identifier for a distinct sellable or stockable product variant.

What it means

Each variation of a product (size, colour, packaging, batch) is a separate SKU. SKU coding conventions vary — some businesses use meaningful codes (e.g., TSHIRT-M-BLUE), others use sequential numbers. Good SKU hygiene is the foundation of accurate inventory.
