Can Amazon SKU be changed? What are the methods to modify it?

There are many merchants who have opened stores on the Amazon platform. After opening a store on this platform, merchants need to upload products and then set the product information. Generally speaking, merchants will set the sku, so can this sku be modified?

Can Amazon SKU be changed?

First of all, we must make it clear that due to the uniqueness of the SKU code, we must first understand that SKUs cannot be replaced. The official method recommended by Amazon is to delete the old one and then rebuild a new SKU, but this will cause all past sales accumulation or rankings to disappear (sales accumulation and ranking are tied to ASIN, and ASIN generation is related to UPC and SKU). In this way, all the accumulated results before will be wasted.

What are the ways to modify it?

1. Use the correct SKU to sell your own products first (this way, the same ASIN code will generate two different SKUs).

2. In Inventory, adjust the old SKU inventory to 0 or delete it directly (so that this ASIN code only corresponds to one SKU).

3. In this way, the new listing can retain sales records and rankings.

What is Amazon SKU?

Amazon SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) refers to the unit or inventory unit for measuring inventory in and out. It is a unique numeric or alphanumeric code assigned to a product. SKU is mainly used to manage inventory by automatically tracking product information (including price, manufacturer, function, size, color, and inventory location, etc.). In short, SKU helps sellers track sales to ensure the profitability of their retail business.

SKU is composed of alphanumeric characters, usually 8-12 characters, each character corresponds to a unique feature of the product, such as product type, color, size, style, etc. Each product corresponds to a unique SKU number. If a product has multiple variants, there are multiple SKUs. For example, if a piece of clothing has 3 colors and 4 different sizes, there will be 12 different SKUs.

According to what we know, Amazon sku can be modified after it is set. If a product is to achieve better results, it must be optimized later, but merchants must not make blind changes when making changes.
