SKU SKU 英文全称为 stock keeping unit，简称SKU，定义为保存库存控制的最小可用单位，是数字化管理方式的产物，可以是以件，盒，托盘等为单位。例如纺织品中一个SKU通常表示规格，颜色，款式）。 在连锁零售门店中有时称单品为一个SKU。当然，单品与传统意义上“品种”的概念是不同的，用单品这一概念可以区分不同商品的不同属性，从而为商品采购、销售、物流管理、财务管理以及POS系统与MIS系统的开发提供极大的便利。 例如：单听销售的可口可乐是一个单品SKU，而整扎销售的可口可乐又是一个单品，这两个单品在库存管理和销售是不一样的。而在传统意义上的品种听装的可口可乐是一个品种，不管其销售模式是什么样的。 An SKU is a stock number used by businesses and merchants that allows them to track inventory and services from point of distribution to point of sale. SKU is a type of data management system. Each individual item or package is given a code either by the distributor or the business owner. There is an SKU code applied to every product, item, or other forms of goods that can be purchased by a customer. SKU are not necessarily assigned to just physical products. They also are used to identify services and fees. As some companies provide services, they use SKU’s for billing. As an example, if a computer store repairs a customer’s computer, they use an SKU to determine what services were completed in order to fill out a bill for services rendered. Other samples are deliveries, installation costs, and warranties. All SKU tracking varies from business to business and according to regions and corporate data systems. SKU also varies from other product tracking systems due to manufacturer regulations or even government regulations. Other examples of tracking methods are Universal Product Code (UPC), European Article Number (EAN), and Global Trade Item Number (GTIN). SKU use is rooted in data management, enabling the company to systematically track its inventory or product availability, such as in warehouses and retail outlets. They are often assigned and serialized at the merchant level. Each SKU is attached to an item, variant, product line, bundle, service, fee, or attachment. SKUs are often used to refer to different versions of the same product. For example, a retail store carrying Guitar Hero 3 might have six SKUs, two for each of the three platforms—one with and one without a guitar controller. 我们不难看出，无论是国外还是国内的定义和解释中，基本上是三个两个概念：品项、编码、单位。 品项：品项可以结合上面关于单品、SKU和品种的解释来理解。也就是只要属性有不同，那么就是不同的品项（SKU）。可以说这是SKU看作是一种产品的角度来分析理解的。属性有很多种，大家容易理解是品牌、型号、配置、等级、花色、生产日期、保质期、用途、价格、产地等，因为他们可以很直观的区分开来；但是包装容量、单位、存放地等就不是那么容易了——难道一支放到一箱，一箱放到一个托盘就不是这个产品了？同样的产品放到亚洲和美洲就不一样了？也就是说同样的产品只要在人们对其进行保存、管理、销售、服务上有不同的方式，那么它（SKU）就不再是相同的了。 编码：这个概念是基于信息系统和货物编码管理来说的，像“品项”中介绍的那样，不同的品项（SKU）就有不同的编码。这样子，我们才可以依照不同的SKU数据来分析库存、销售状况。当你使用物流或者ERP系统的时候，你会发现SKU#：12356这样的文本框。长时间这样的状况让很多朋友都认为，SKU就是产品的编码了。但是这里的产品如“品项”所说，并非是一个泛泛的产品的概念，而是很精确的产品概念。 单位：基本上就是基于管理来说的吧，这个名字上是数字化管理方式的产物。但是这里的单位和我们平时的“单位”有什么区别呢？看看产品的包装单位的不同，SKU就不同--你就知道了。 SKU 的功能 SKU’s are typically printed as a barcode on a label somewhere on the product. This makes it easy and quick to find the products information by scanning it with a barcode reader. Every item and variant item has its own SKU. This means that slightly different models have different tracking codes which makes it easier to keep up with the items. The first part of a SKU may contain the code for that type of product while the second part of the code may represent the color or style. Not only is the SKU given to an item, the same 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/b206af8671fe910ef12df877.html
