Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) are an industry standard way to identify similar items. The SKUs are used to connect your individual articles to your catalog products, which your customers can order.

Product or a product variant has always a one-to-one relationship with a SKU.

You have dedicated Stock Keeping Units tab under the Inventory to manage your SKUs.

Adding new SKUs

You can add new SKUs by clicking the Add SKU button.

After clicking the button you can define the name and the SKU code. By default the Track each item individually checkbox is selected.

When it is enabled, you can view the availability, status and history of inventory individually for each item that belongs to this SKU.

When it is disabled you are tracking the items in bulk, only based on the number of articles you have, not by the individual articles.

Tip: you can create new SKUs when you are creating a new product.

Managing SKUs

You can manage SKUs individually or in builk.

Managing single SKU

This view allows you to edit the SKU Name and SKU Code and displays all individual articles that belong to this SKU.

On the right side you can see aggregated usage data for all items of this SKU and the current statuses. You can also manage individual articles similar to the articles table.

Managing SKUs in bulk

You can manage one or more SKUs on the SKU table by first selecting at least one SKU.

From the bulk action menu you can either Export or Delete the selected SKU(s).
