ISO 22745-2:2010(E)

22 Terms relating to types of items

22.1
item of supply

class of substitutable goods or services that fulfil a fit, form or function defined by a buyer

22.2
item of production

good or service that conforms to a specification defined by a supplier

NOTE   Items of production are commonly tracked by part numbers, model numbers, or procedure codes.

22.3
stockkeeping unit

sku

inventory item identified by a unique alphanumeric designation assigned to an object in an inventory control system

NOTE   Terminology databases that are linked to inventory control systems and manufacturing logistical systems include skus and part numbers, which act as designations within the system representing the object in question. Hence they function much like terms and even take on the character of terms in common discourse and text creation.

EXAMPLE   For the catalog entry: "PLAID FLANNEL PANTS #5193 Sizes 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12", "#5193-6" represents a sku for the item: Style number #5193, size 6.

[ISO 12620:1999, definition A.2.1.17.1]

22.4
part number

a unique alphanumeric designation assigned to an object in a manufacturing system

NOTE   Terminology databases that are linked to inventory control systems and manufacturing logistical systems include skus and part numbers, which function as designations within the system representing the object in question. Hence they function much like terms and even take on the character of terms in common discourse and text creation.

EXAMPLE   Sample part numbers from a automotive power train manufacturing system, where each segment of the number represents a different classification level within the system:
clutch cover 1 110 036 00 a
driven disk flange 3 125 125 04 b
driven disk retainer plate 3 124 119 01 a
driven disk cover plate 3 122 234 00 c
diaphragm spring 4 220 100 00 g
