Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) are a combination of an item number, lot number, and warehouse code. Each item can have many different SKUs because items can be stocked in multiple warehouses and come in multiple lot numbers. An item might not have any SKUs. An item that had never been ordered or received would not have an SKU record on the system.

The Item File is used extensively throughout the system to describe and classify products. Before adding an item to the Item File, you must first enter data in the Supplier File, Manufacturer File, Product Line File, and optionally, the Price File, Cost File, and Packaging File. The Item File also includes many optional codes and categories that must first be established in the Classification Codes File.
