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


Our Format

SKU Symbol Description
Suffix 2-4 alphabetic characters. no numbers. you may not break this rule
Dash Dashes help to distinguish alpha chars from numerics
Number 3 digits max starting at 000

Examples

DIO-000 = A diode we have in stock called 000 RES-067 = The 68th resistor we've added to the store KIT-012 = The 12th kit we've introduced to the store.
