What is SKU and UPC ?

 SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit also called as Item. When you are buying item in store you can see barcode on the item. Barcode usually contains SKU and UPC.

UPC stands for Universal Product Code

Stock Keeping Unit (SKU), is a number assigned to a product by the company for stock-keeping purposes and internal operations. 6 to 8 digit alpha numeric

Universal Product Code (UPC), is affixed to a product wherever it is sold. Used for external, or universal. 12 numeric digits
