SKU Assignment

Updated on

The SKU is broken down into 4 sections or codes separated by dashes.

To assign a sku to a new product, follow the rules below

1. The first two digits of the sku should be the prefix/brand code of the kit. The discipline should be used to determine the appropriate prefix using the table below

Discipline Code Description SKU Prefix
AP KITS Anatomy and Physiology Kits SI
BIOLOGY KITS Biology Kits SI
CHEM KITS Chemistry Kits LP
EARTH SCIENCE Earth Science Kits SI
ES ENV KITS Environmental Kits SI
FORENSICS KITS Forensic Science Kits SI
GENETICS KITS Genetics Kits SI
GEO KITS Geology Kits SI
HUMAN BIOLOGY KITS Human Biology Kits SI
MICRO KITS Microbiology Kits SI
NURSING KITS Nursing Kits SI
PHARMACY KITS Pharmacy Kits SI
PHYSICAL SCIENCE KIT Physical Science Kits SI
PHYSICS KITS Physics Kits LP

2. The number series of the sku is determined by the product type. 

  • If the kit is an experiment-based kit, it will go in the standard series of numbers.
  • If the kit is a digital only kit, it will go in the 7 series of numbers.
  • If the kit is materials only, it will go in the 9 series of numbers.

Reference the below grid to choose the correct number in the SKU assignment spreadsheet
 

Select the next available number on the appropriate tab of the sheet and type your name (and school) in the field next to it to claim the number.

Brand Type Number Series Tab

HOL

Experiments Standard Series HOL (LP) SKU’s
Digital Only 7 Series HOL (LP) All Digital Sku’s
Materials Only 9 Series HOL (LP) Materials Only Sku’s

SI

Experiments Standard Series SI SKU’s
Digital Only 7 Series SI Digital Only SKUs
Materials Only 9 Series SI Materials Only SKUs

3. Use the table below to assign the discipline code to the kit. 

Each discipline has its own 2 letter identifier. Chemistry has 2 sub-disciplines that have unique identifiers.

Description Code
Anatomy and Physiology Kits AP
Biology Kits BK
Chemistry Kits CK
Earth Science Kits EA
Environmental Kits ES
Forensic Science Kits FS
Genetics Kits GN
General Organic Biochemistry GB
Geology Kits GK
Human Biology Kits HB
Microbiology Kits MB
Nursing Kits NK
Organic Chemistry OC
Pharmacy Kits PH
Physical Science Kits PS
Physics Kits PK

4. All new kits start with 01 as the version

All new SKUs must contain all 4 parts as outlined in this article i.e SI-10000-AP-01

5. For a consumable-refill kit, the prefix will be SC. The rest of the sku will match the full kit sku, the number, discipline and version.

For example, if the full kit sku is SI-20000-PH-01, the consumable kit will be SC-20000-PH-01.
