I am trying to set up invoices and I am asked for a SKU?? I dont know what this is?? I am a sole trader.

Hello shikya15-gmail-c,

You can edit the columns shown on your invoice and not include the SKU. The SKU is like a serial number or stock unit reference number to help identify your items when you record or add them to your products and services list. 

Here's how to edit the columns in your sales form:

1. Click on the Gear Icon/Company cogwheel.
2. Click on Custom form styles.
3. Click on Edit under Standard or Default template.
4. Click on the Content tab, and click on the second box on the preview to the right.
5. Under COLUMNS untick the box for SKU.
6. Click on Done.

Once you create an invoice the SKU column will no longer show on your sales form.
