What is SKU?
SKU stands for Stock Keeping Unit. It should be a unique set of characters that will not match any other product. Advercado will automatically assign a unique stock number to your product. If you want to create your own SKU unit characters, enter them in the SKU field.
Enable Product Stock Management
If you enable stock management and enter 10 in the stock quantity field after 10 units are ordered, this product will show a message that all the quantities are sold, and there is none in stock.
But you might want to take some pre-orders before your next batch comes up. So you can Allow Back Orders to let the customers place orders even if the product is out of stock.
