Create a SKU Property

Overview​

Create SKU Property and define the SKU attributes to be used in products.

Purpose​

The SKU Property feature primarily aims to realize consistent SKU management that does not depend on the person in charge or the operational status by defining the attributes constituting the SKU and their choices as a master in advance and standardizing the attribute composition during product registration and editing.

By turning SKU Properties and SKU Property Values into masters, the attribute composition that should be referenced for each product becomes clear, and common rules can be operated for which attributes to combine and how to constitute the SKU.
This aligns the structure of product information and enables management that suppresses data variability.

At the same time, by uniquely managing the SKU Property Code and SKU Property Value Code, it prevents duplication of identifiers and erroneous registration, supporting operations that easily maintain the accuracy of product data.

Feature Description​

What is a SKU Property?​

A SKU Property is an attribute master for defining attributes (e.g., Color) that constitute a SKU in "Product Management."

When you create a New SKU Property, it is registered as an attribute master referenced by products.

Relationship between SKU Property and SKU Property Value​

A SKU Property consists of a relationship between attributes and choices through "SKU Property" and "SKU Property Values."

Example:

  • SKU Property: Color
  • SKU Property Value: Black / White

Use in Create/Edit Product​

By registering SKU Properties and SKU Property Values, you can provide attribute information (e.g., Black / White) when creating/editing products to express product composition and variations.
