Maybe I don't understand SKU #'s. Is that another term for manufacturer's part numbers.

I thought a SKU was a number used by a warehouse facility to control items on the shelf in that warehouse. Example: When Woodcraft stocks a bandsaw blade they use a SKU # rather than an Olsen part number.

I think of SKU numbers the same as the manufacturer's part numbers or in the case with SS, item numbers.

A Google search on this subject indicates that you might be correct. It really depends on how the number is used and by whom.
