Hi,

The item card is a page that contains all important details of a product, such as item name, unit of measure, and other inventory details. The item can be an inventory, service, or non-inventory item, but the page remains the same.

And SKU is stock keeping unit, its a unique code used by retailers to manage their inventory. You can learn more about SKU in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzWgNPt9kmY&ab_channel=WebSanSolutionsInc.

Regards.

Welcome to the forum!

I think the official Microsoft documentation explains this pretty well:

Stockkeeping units are a supplement to item cards. They do not replace them, although they are related to them. Stockkeeping units allow you to differentiate information about an item for a specific location, such as a warehouse or distribution center, or a specific variant, such as different shelf numbers and different replenishment information, for the same item.
