FNSKU vs SKU
vs ASIN vs upc

3. Amazon Acronym
• when there are so many Amazon acronyms, it can be difficult to keep on top
of what they all mean!
I will explain the differences between an FNSKU, a SKU,UPC an ASIN and,
importantly, how and when to use them. These are all Amazon-specific terms,
so listen up friends

4. What is an ASIN?
• This stands for ‘Amazon Standard Identification Number’.
• Every product on Amazon has its own ASIN, as a way of identifying the product in Amazon’s
huge catalog.
• These are generated by Amazon
• The ASIN can be found on every Amazon product page when you scroll down to the
‘Additional Information’ section, and is also present in the Amazon URL:

6. What is UPC
• Universal Product Code,
• Upc is a universally unique 12-digit numerical code and corresponding barcode assigned to a
product that remains constant, regardless of who is selling the product, where it is sold, or
how it is sold.
• Because UPCs are universally used and recognized, they are regulated by an international
non-profit organization called the GS1. The company that designed the product in question
must purchase UPCs from GS1.

7. What is UPC?
• UPC can be scanned
• every company can keep track of their products as they pass through
various vendors to end customers. anywhere, by anyone, and always
identify the same product
• The purpose of UPCs is to make it easy to identify product features, such as
the brand name, item, size, and color, when an item is scanned at
checkout.

8. What is SKU?
• “stock keeping unit”
• is a custom alphanumeric code that a merchant creates and assigns to each
of their products.
• a code/description you choose to help manage your inventory and keep
track of your products.
• Every product (including product varieties) should have its own unique SKU,
so that the seller can easily distinguish products from each other. This
makes inventory management and inventory tracking much more efficient.

9. What is SKU?
• Every company will have its own system of rules for creating and managing
SKUs. Typically, though, SKUs are made up of 8-10 letters and numbers
that are representative of the product’s unique features (such as color, size,
model number, product number, etc.).
• For example, say that a t-shirt company wants to create a SKU for a green
V-neck t-shirt, size 6, from the collection released in November of 2009.
• The company uses the following convention to create their SKUs:
[Shirt Style]-[Color]-[Size]-[Collection Month]-[Collection Year]
Under this rule, the SKU for this item would be V-GRE-06-11-09.

10. What is SKU?
• Amazon uses SKUs for internal tracking and inventory management
purposes. By using a dependable SKU system, Amazon efficiently monitors
warehouse transfers to avoid confusion.
• You will input your SKU when you come to add a product to Amazon:

11. What is FNSKU?
• FNSKU = Fulfilment Network Stock Keeping Unit.
• The FNSKU is a type of barcode Amazon uses to identify a product and connect it with a particular
seller/merchant.
• FNSKU makes it easy to pair up every product to its corresponding seller.
• a unique code which links a product to a seller. FBA sellers must print off FNSKU labels and affix to the
packaging of every product they send to Amazon

12. What is FNSKU?
• FNSKUs are used during the fulfillment process.
• It is exclusive for products that are fulfilled by Amazon FBA.
• Amazon uses FNSKU to track your products.
• FNSKUs only concern Amazon FBA sellers as it’s a code used to
track products within their internal fulfilment centres. If you’re fulfilling
orders yourself (FBM), you do not need to worry about FNSKUs.
