SKU

Stock Keeping Unit — a unique alphanumeric code assigned to each specific cabinet product variation (size, door style, finish, and configuration) to identify and track inventory. In kitchen cabinetry, each SKU represents a specific cabinet such as "B36-SHK-WHT" (Base 36-inch Shaker White). SKUs are essential for accurate ordering, preventing mix-ups between similar cabinets, and tracking inventory across manufacturer, distributor, and retailer systems.
