SKU

Stock Keeping Unit

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique alphanumeric identifier that verkopers create to track their inventory. Unlike ASINs (assigned by Amazon), SKUs are verkoper-defined and used for internal inventory management and reporting.

Why SKU Matters for Amazon Sellers

Proper SKU management is essential for inventory tracking, cost accounting, and multi-channel selling. Well-structured SKU naming conventions help verkopers manage large catalogs efficiently.

Praktisch Voorbeeld

A verkoper might use the SKU format 'RB-RED-M' for a red medium resistance band, allowing quick identification of product type, color, and size in inventory reports.

Veelgestelde Vragen

Is SKU the same as ASIN?+

No. ASIN is Amazon's product identifier (same for all verkopers of that product). SKU is your personal identifier for your inventory. Multiple verkopers can have different SKUs for the same ASIN.

How should I structure my SKUs?+

Use a consistent format like CATEGORY-PRODUCT-VARIANT (e.g., FIT-BAND-RED-M). Keep them short, meaningful, and without special characters. Good SKU structure saves time in inventory management.
