Sku code components

There is no specific way to create a SKU code, each company has its own and each type of product as well; Even so, what businesses want is for everyone to be able to understand this identification system, to make transactions easier.

The first thing to be able to create a SKU code is to determine which information is going to be encoded in numbers and which in letters; afterwards, each business is in charge of choosing its structure according to its needs, priorities and the profile of its target client.

In order to create these registration systems, it is essential to follow two elementary steps: the volume and organization of the catalog and the creation of unique SKUs.

​

• Volume and organization of the catalog: it must represent the needs of each specific product; for example, in some cases it may be necessary to identify the color of an item but not in others.

• Creation of unique SKUs: it is essential that there are no duplicates so that you can track and inventory properly. Therefore, it is best that, even if a product is discontinued, do not repeat an old SKU.
