SKU - Stock Keeping Unit. This is the actual package/product. UPC- Universal Product Code. This is the code assigned to the SKU which is used to identify it. Each product (SKU) is assigned a unique UPC which will differentiate it from all others.

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.)

What does sku mean?

It stands for Stock Keeping Unit.The SKU number is a VITAL piece of information to every store. Combined with the UPC number, the SKU identifies the product within the companies inventory database. It not only supplies information about the items cost, but also about the number of items in the store, the number on back order and the number that can be purchased from other stores in the chain. Without the SKU and UPC numbers, vendors would have no idea the amount of items they carry, or what they are spending or earning on that product and their profit margin would be impossible to track.
