If you manage inventory, proper coding of products is vital to your success. Even if you’re selling items through an Amazon store or other online retailer, tracking your inventory is crucial. Amazon SKUs<\/a> and seller SKUs, aka “stock keeping units,” are essential to reaching your full sales potential in your Amazon store, regardless if you have a small product portfolio or thousands of products on offer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Contents<\/p>\n SKUs or “Stock Keeping Units” are unique alpha-numeric codes assigned to your products and their variants on ecommerce platforms. It is an identification code to track a product for inventory and sales purposes. It may also include details about the product, such as color, size, and other variations.<\/p>\n You should always assign a unique SKU<\/a> to a product, even if you sell the same product on another ecommerce platform. A seller SKU can help with inventory management in many ways, such as categorizing products quickly, measuring inventory levels, purchasing accurate items, and helping make communication between you, the vendors, and your customers smooth and efficient.<\/p>\n You may notice a UPC or universal product code if you sell the same items on several ecommerce sites. UPCs easily identify product features, such as brand name, item, size, or color. While your items may have different SKUs depending on which site you’re selling on, they will have the same UPC no matter where you sell them.<\/p>\n As you set up your online stores, you can make your own seller SKUs for each product. When doing so, keep these tips in mind:<\/p>\n No matter the size of your product portfolio, what you sell, who your customer is, or what channel you sell on, every product should be identified with an SKU. Using inventory management software<\/a> can make it very easy and fast to set up SKUs.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row disabled_on=”off|off|off” module_class=”center-vertically” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#eef1f8″ background_enable_color=”off” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”#6717cd 51%|#0b0b0b 100%” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”42px|auto|45px|auto|false|false” custom_padding=”30px|40px|30px|40px|false|false” border_radii=”on|12px|12px|12px|12px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”0px” box_shadow_blur=”10px” box_shadow_color=”rgba(74,75,109,0.09)” global_module=”3761″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” header_3_text_color=”#ffffff” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_3_font_size_phone=”20px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”center” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]\n
