Adding a SKU
This section allows you to create a new stock-keeping unit (SKU) for products or services in your inventory. Here, you can specify key details, such as the product name, manufacturer, model, and price, as well as more descriptive information like the product's dimensions, weight, and tax categories. Additionally, you can upload an image for visual reference, assign a vendor, and define custom attributes like UPC and vendor SKU numbers. This setup enables comprehensive tracking and categorization of inventory items, ensuring each product or service has a unique identifier and detailed profile for accurate management and streamlined operations.
