A variant code / SKU (Stock Keeping Unit), is a unique identifier used to track specific product variants. Each SKU helps in managing inventory efficiently by distinguishing between different versions of a product, such as size or color variations.
If you haven't enabled multiple variants for an item, the product or material is considered to have a single variant. If a product or material has variants, each variant can have a separate unique code.
You can create your own code structure to quickly identify and categorize products and materials. A variant code is usually a human-readable letter-and-number code that reveals the item's details, such as color, size, style, etc.
Examples
A Variant code can be very short and simple. For different models of chairs a factory can produce, product codes might just be C01, C02, C03 and so on.
A Variant code can also reveal more details about your product or material. For a white Table with black legs and height 70 cm, a variant code might be TBL-WH-BL-70.
