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 table.

The SKU Element 1, 2 and 3 tables must be completed if you use SKUs.

When defining SKU elements in the SKU table, 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.

Uploading: You can use the Submit Supporting Data Upload Screen (SDUP) to upload new SKU elements. See Importing Item-Related Supporting Data (WinRetail Integration/SDUP) for an overview.
