== SKUs ==
''Def: Stock Keeping Unit''

*SKUs should not identify products details, that is for a detailed description
*SKUs should not be the manufacturer number since it will prevent you from second sourcing
*Large Corportations with thousands of product configurations require detailed SKUs, smaller businesses have typically < 1000 products so short SKUs enhance readability
*SKUs should not have exotic characters #$!/\|
*SKUs should NEVER start with the number 0 because word processors will butcher it
*SKUs should try to limit or control usage of alpha I, O, L and numeric 1, 0 because it will lead to typos
*Having your own unique identifier in the sku will allow your product to be found using search engines. 
*Having some intelligence in your SKU will allow inexperience users to find the parts faster
