What’s a Stock keeping unit? (SKU)
The “stock keeping unit (SKU)” is a short, unique, computer-friendly code that represents a product in your inventory. (e.g. B2021).
The SKU field is an optional field, but if it’s in use, the system will automatically check to make sure it’s unique
The SKU field isn’t case-sensitive.

- With your admin account, go to the Inventory settings. Or Main Menu> Options>Inventory if you’re already logged into inFlow.
- Select Legacy settings.
