What Is a SKU (in Rebates)?
A SKU (stock keeping unit) is the unique identifier for a specific product. In rebate management, SKUs are the level at which eligibility and rebate rates are usually defined - a vendor's program may include some SKUs and exclude others, or pay a higher rate on a strategic SKU - so accurate SKU data is essential to calculating rebate correctly.
Why it matters to partners. Two similar-looking products can carry very different rebate treatment, and vendors update eligible-SKU lists often. If your SKU data is messy or your mapping is out of date, the rebate calculation is wrong - usually understating what you earned. Clean, normalized SKU data is the foundation under every product-level rebate.

Because eligibility and rates are often set per SKU. The same dollar of sales can earn very different rebate depending on which SKUs it covers.
