UPC Cross Links

This report identifies UPCs that are linked to the wrong SKUs. This issue causes sales and quantity-on-hand subtractions to be attributed to the wrong SKU.

  • If the UPC for a roll of masking tape is linked to a paint brush SKU, sales of the masking tape are attributed to the paint brush, resulting in out-of-stock masking tape and overstocked paint brushes.
