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.)
