What do SKUs stand for in product category?
Stock keeping units (SKUs) are a combination of letters and numbers assigned to products and their variants that are primarily used to track inventory. If your products have attributes, you’ll have to create a SKU for each attribute combination.
How to name your SKUs ( with examples )?
These might be the brand name, size, color, or item type. Best practices indicate that you should only include the most standout product features in SKU names. For instance, your standard SKU format might be: So, for a blue Under Armour shoe in size 10, the SKU might be UDA-BL-10.

Best practices indicate that you should only include the most standout product features in SKU names. For instance, your standard SKU format might be:
What do the numbers mean in a SKU name?
Start with the color, size, category, and seasonal variations and include them in your SKU name formats. You can use numbers to represent product sizes and letters to denote colors and material of products. Pro tip: Try not to use numbers to denote colors as this can be pretty confusing and difficult to memorize.
