SKUvariante

SKUvariante is a term used in inventory management and retail to describe a specific version or configuration of a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU). An SKU is a unique identifier for a product in a company's inventory. When a product comes in multiple variations, such as different sizes, colors, or materials, each distinct variation is assigned its own SKUvariante. For example, a t-shirt might have a base SKU for "T-Shirt." However, if it is available in red, blue, and green, and in sizes small, medium, and large, then each combination (e.g., "T-Shirt Red Small," "T-Shirt Blue Medium") would be a distinct SKUvariante.

The purpose of using SKUvariantes is to accurately track inventory levels for each individual product variation. This allows businesses to understand which specific versions are selling well, which are not, and to manage stock effectively across different options. Without SKUvariantes, a business might only track the total number of t-shirts sold, making it difficult to determine the demand for specific colors or sizes. This granular level of detail is crucial for effective merchandising, purchasing decisions, and preventing stockouts or overstocking of particular product attributes. The implementation of SKUvariantes is a standard practice in most modern inventory management systems.
