Creating SKU codes

A Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) code represents an alternate identifier for items. SKU codes are used primarily in the retail industry. In Inventory Control, you can associate a SKU code with an inventory item for tracking purposes. The SKU code includes additional item information, such as alternate unit of measure, shelf label, color, size, and style, and is used in Item and Order Billing.

You can print SKU codes on labels or you can scan them electronically.
