Creating an SKU in Sirdab can be done in three ways:

  1. During the Inbound Process: SKUs can be created as part of the inbound shipment process, streamlining the workflow by adding new items directly while receiving goods.

  2. From the SKU Tab: Create a single SKU manually by navigating to the SKU tab. This method is ideal for adding individual items with detailed attributes.
