Chapter 40: Working with SKU Elements (WSK1, WSK2, WSK3)

Purpose: The SKU Element function defines the valid values for the three SKU elements (for example, style, color and size). The values defined in this record will be validated throughout the system. For example, if the SKU element is color, you must enter all your valid colors in the SKU Element file.

The SKU Element 1, 2 and 3 files must be completed when operating in a split SKU environment (the Split SKU Inventory system control value is set to Y). If you are operating in a non-split SKU environment, you do not have to build any data in these files.

When defining SKU elements in the SKU file, the SKU Element 1 field defines the primary SKU element (e.g., style), the Element 2 field defines the secondary SKU element (e.g., color), and the Element 3 field defines the third SKU element (e.g., size).

The Work with SKU Element 1, 2, and 3 screens appear identical.
