Where to find a SKU number depends on the system you are looking at. In a furniture distributor workflow, the SKU may be in a supplier catalog, an Excel price sheet, a PDF brochure, a product label, a marketplace listing, or your internal product record.
The challenge is not only finding the SKU once. The harder work is linking that SKU to the right supplier, product attributes, images, and source evidence.
Where to Find a SKU Number in a Supplier Catalog
In a supplier catalog, a SKU number may appear near the product name, model number, price table, specification block, or order code.
Look for labels such as:
- SKU
- Item number
- Model
- Product code
- Article number
- Supplier code
- Order code
Furniture suppliers do not always use the word SKU. A model code or item number may play the same practical role in the supplier catalog.
Where to Find a SKU Number in a Price Sheet
In a price sheet, the SKU may appear in the first few columns beside product name, dimensions, color, material, MOQ, price, or lead-time fields.
Excel price sheets can be especially tricky because one row may represent a product, while another row may represent a finish, bundle, set count, or price tier. A clean product data workflow should preserve the original price sheet source so teams can review ambiguous rows.
Where to Find SKU Numbers in Marketplace Listings
In marketplace or platform workflows, SKU fields may sit in listing settings, seller inventory pages, product edit forms, or export files.
Those platform SKUs are useful, but they should not be the only source of truth for a B2B furniture team. Supplier catalog context still matters when sales needs dimensions, material, style, price, MOQ, and source evidence.
How Skulinker Helps
Skulinker helps extract SKU-like identifiers from supplier PDFs, Excel sheets, catalogs, and images. It keeps those identifiers connected to supplier context and product records, so sales can search and shortlist products without reopening every source file.
FAQ
Where is a SKU number located?
A SKU number is often located near a product name, model, price row, product label, order code, listing setting, or internal product record.
Is a model number the same as a SKU?
Not always. But in supplier catalogs, a model number may function like a SKU if it is the main identifier your team uses to find and order the product.
