Yes, and no. A UPC is a Universal Product Code which is a Barcode. There are however Barcodes that do not conform to the Universal Product Code and they are just Barcodes. A company may use barcodes internally to track inventory but that barcode may not be a UPC.

Is a SKU and UPC the same thing?

An SKU is a merchant-specific code ("stock-keeping unit") that identifies a billable item (product, service, discount, et cetera) and is programmed into the Point of Sale (POS) system. The UPC (Universal Product Code) is assigned by that product's manufacturer or distributor, and is usually part of the packaging and appears as a barcode. The SKU and UPC codes may reference the same product, but only within the context of a single Merchant or store. Example: Coke Zero 12 oz. aluminum can (US) has a UPC barcode that Coca Cola Enterprises burned into each can - that UPC con't change, regardless of the Merchant that sells it (Wal Mart, Target, 7-11, etc.) However, the Wal MArt SKU is (very likely) different than the Target SKU for that same product. The SKU is usually visible on the shelf label with the item name (usually in smaller print.)

How are UPC codes assigned?

UPC codes are assigned by the non-profit organization GS1, which manages global supply chain standards. Companies work with GS1 to obtain a unique company prefix, which they then combine with unique product codes to create individual UPC codes for their products.
