Inside JD.COM! What does the total number of SKUs mean?

SKU = inventory unit is a necessary method of logistics management, that is, keeping the smallest available unit for inventory control. For a commodity, when its brand, model, configuration, grade, color, packaging capacity, unit, production date, shelf life, use, price and place of origin are different from other commodities, it can be called a single product. Single item is different from the traditional concept of "variety". The concept of single item can distinguish different attributes of different commodities, thus providing great convenience for commodity procurement, sales, logistics management, financial management and the development of POS system and MIS system.
