SKUs
Def: Stock Keeping Unit
- SKUs should not identify products details, that is for a detailed description
- SKUs should not be the manufacturer number as they are long and hard to read
- 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
