What SKU means
Retailers or wholesalers use a code system to keep track of the number of items sold and measure the store’s sales. The measurement is defined by SKU, in other words, stock keeping units. SKU is a number assigned to a product by a retailer to demonstrate the price, product option and origin or manufacture of that product.
