Enkeltartikler

Enkeltartikler is a term used in Norwegian and Danish to describe items that are sold individually, as opposed to bundles, sets, or cases. In retail, catalogs, and enterprise resource planning systems, an enkeltartikel refers to an atomic product entry with its own unique article number. This granularity supports per-item pricing, stock control, and order handling.

In practice, enkeltartikler cover a wide range of goods, from groceries and hardware to electronics. They are organized in catalogs and inventory by category, with attributes such as name, description, unit price, unit of measure, tax category, supplier, stock level, location, and reorder point. When products are sold as part of a bundle, the bundle is typically stored separately as a set or pakke and is linked to its constituent enkeltartikler.

Benefits of using enkeltartikler include precise inventory tracking, flexible pricing, and clearer reporting on sales by item. It also simplifies online storefronts, which often list each item as a separate product page.

Some Nordic retailers use the term across languages, but the underlying concept—item-level granularity in product data—exists in many commerce systems worldwide. Related concepts include product cataloging, inventory management, and SKU (stock-keeping unit) structures.
