Hi,

In which domain stock keeping units are used most commonly?

Does stock keeping unit serve the purpose same as configurable product ?

configurable product should be used for a single item with specific selectable variations. EG:Think about a coffee cup obtainable in different colours and sizes, a woman's bag obtainable in different materials, a light boll obtainable in different watts or whatever. Each selectable variation can have its own additional costs.

Is it possible to maintain stock keeping units as multilevel?

Thank you,

RE: Stock keeping units

There is no specific area that SKU is been used. There are many different type of organizations use this capability to server their requirement. As mentioned by Mahesh I also have seen many retail related companies use SKU. You can have different variant for a specific location and NAV allow you to maintain separate inventory for each specific variant and location.

RE: Stock keeping units

Hi,

It's most suitable under retail environment. It's nothing other than the combination of Item No, and Variant for a specific location. The data for this combination is always available in the Item Ledger Entry.
