Formula & How It Works

SKU Format: [CATEGORY]-[BRAND]-[ATTR1]-[ATTR2]-[SEQUENCE]
Example: APP-NIKE-BLU-L-001
Rules: Uppercase only | No spaces | 8–15 characters | Unique per variant

How to Use This SKU Generator

Step 1 — Category Code Enter a 2–4 letter abbreviation for your product category. Required field. e.g. APP for Apparel, ELEC for Electronics, GROC for Grocery.

Step 2 — Brand / Supplier Code Short code for your brand or supplier. Optional but recommended. e.g. NIKE, HUL, GEN for Generic.

Step 3 — Attribute 1 First variant dimension such as colour, flavour, or material. Optional. e.g. BLU, RED, MINT, COT.

Step 4 — Attribute 2 Second variant dimension such as size, weight, or pack type. Optional. e.g. S, L, XL, 500G, 1L.

Step 5 — Sequence & Count Set starting sequence number and how many SKUs to generate (up to 20). Each SKU auto-increments. e.g. start at 1, generate 5 → 001 to 005.

Step 6 — Copy & Use Copy individual SKUs with the Copy button, or use Copy All to export the full list for ERP / inventory data entry.

💡 Tip: Only uppercase letters and numbers are kept in SKUs — spaces and special characters are stripped automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a SKU? +

SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) is a unique alphanumeric code assigned to each distinct product variant in inventory management.

How should I structure a SKU? +

A good SKU is 8–12 characters, uses a consistent format, and encodes meaningful product attributes. Example: CAT-COLOR-SIZE-SEQ like APP-BLU-L-001.

Should SKUs have the product name? +

Use abbreviations of meaningful attributes, not the full name. SKUs must be scannable, concise, and unique — not descriptive paragraphs.

Can two products have the same SKU? +

Never. SKUs must be globally unique within your inventory. Even colour or size variants of the same product need different SKUs.

How many SKUs should a retail store have? +

There's no fixed number. Focus on maintaining unique, consistent SKUs for every product variant. VasyERP helps manage thousands of SKUs with barcode and search.
