What is a stock keeping unit (SKU)?

The stock keeping unit (SKU) designates a uniquely identifiable storage unit.

All similar articles of a certain product variant are grouped together in a storage unit. The respective SKU is marked with a code so that it can be identified. This code consists of a combination of numbers and can also contain letters, if necessary.
