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

After we open a store on Amazon, we need to upload products, so we have to set the product information, such as the setting of Amazon sku. These are the most basic operations. So, can Amazon sku be modified? Let me introduce it to you below.

Can Amazon SKU be modified?

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 changed. The method officially 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 copy 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. 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.

Regarding the question raised at the beginning, it has been answered in the above content. The Amazon sku can be modified. In fact, if Amazon merchants want to modify this sku, they must also comply with relevant regulations, otherwise it will be considered a violation.
