A stock keeping unit (SKU) is a warehousing item that is unique because of some characteristic (such as brand, size, color, model) and must be stored and accounted for separate from other items. Every SKU is assigned a unique identification number (inventory or stock number) which is often the same as (or is tied to) the item's EAN or UPC.[1] SKUs are often called part numbers, product numbers or product identifiers.[2]
