  • Version Information: This article applies to older versions of Exatouch.

Local SKU numbers or Alt SKU numbers can be assigned to an item in Exatouch regardless of whether the item has a manufacturer’s SKU number assigned. For example, you can assign a local SKU number to a special edition item which has a generic manufacturer-assigned SKU number associated with it.

There are two ways to generate SKU numbers locally from the New Item screen:

Manually

  • Type a custom SKU number into the SKU or Alt SKU fields.

Automatically

  • Tap barcode icon next to the SKU or Alt SKU fields.
  • Tip! Most scanned items have EAN13-compliant SKU numbers. EAN-13 SKU numbers are 13 digits long and are standard in the USA. Some international or non-traditional items have SKU numbers which are not EAN13-compliant. Non-traditional items can be added to Exatouch by scanning the non-traditional barcode, and then creating a locally-generated SKU for the item.
