SKU Features in O2VEND

SKU Length for Variation in O2VEND

Overview

The SKU Length for Variation feature restricts the length of variation SKUs when creating products with multiple options (such as color or size). This ensures that SKUs remain consistent and easy to manage.

When a length is set, the system automatically limits the variation part of the SKU to that number of characters.

Location in Back Office

Navigation Path:
Back Office → Features → SKU → SKU Length for Variation

Why Use This Feature?

• Keeps variation SKUs short and standardized.
• Prevents long SKUs.
• Useful for businesses that need uniform SKU codes for inventory and reporting.

How to Enable and Configure

1. Go to Back Office → Features → SKU.
2. Select SKU Length for Variation.
3. Enter the desired length (number of characters) for variation SKUs.
4. Click Save.

How It Works

• When creating a product with variations:
  • The base SKU remains unchanged.
  • The variation part of the SKU is trimmed to the configured length.
• Example:
