What Is an Eligible SKU?
An eligible SKU is a specific product code that qualifies for a rebate under a program's rules - only sales of named eligible SKUs earn the rebate, while non-eligible products don't count toward it. Vendors use eligible-SKU lists to focus incentives on strategic products, new releases or inventory they want to move.
Why it matters to IT channel partners. Because the rebate depends on selling the right SKUs, a partner can hit overall volume while missing the rebate because the mix included ineligible products. Tracking sales against each program's eligible-SKU list shows exactly which products earn money and where mix should shift.
