SKU cleanup and item master setup for growing SMEs.

FAQs
Questions about SKU Cleanup and Item Master Setup
Why clean SKUs before changing systems?
A new system imports the old item problems unless the item master is reviewed first.
Can this help WooCommerce?
Yes. Clean SKUs and product categories support online shop/store filters, stock availability and order handover.
Can this prepare for Dynamics 365 Business Central?
Yes. Clean item records, units and dimensions reduce migration and testing friction.
Who signs off final product data?
The business owner, finance lead or operations owner should sign off the cleaned item master.
