The Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) is a multi-digit number assigned to inventory and menu items. Exatouch supports EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, and UPC-E compliant barcodes.

Use Exatouch to generate a SKU for any item, or assign an Alternate SKU to items to sell multiple versions of an item.

 

Generate SKU

  1. Find and open an existing item to edit. Alternatively, start a new item record.
  2. Tap to select the Details tab.
  3. Tap the SKU button next to the SKU field to generate a UPC-A (12 digit) or UPC-E (8 digit) number.
  4. Tap the SKU button again to switch between a generated UPC-A or UPC-E number.
  5. Tap Save to save your changes.

Assign an Alternate SKU Number

  • Example: Your beverage vendor delivers several cases of a special edition soda that differs from an existing item only by barcode and packaging images.

  1. Find and open an existing item to edit. Alternatively, start a new item record.
  2. Tap to select the Inventory Options tab.
  3. Tap an empty SKU field in the Alternate SKU work area and enter or scan the desired SKU or barcode.
  4. Tap the Description field to enter the description for the added SKU, if needed.
  5. Tap Save after completing all changes on the Inventory Options tab.

Tap a SKU number or Description to change it, or Delete to remove an Alternate SKU.
