    plugin to work.
 2. Upload the plugin from your WordPress Plugins section.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### How many SKU can the Simple SKU Generator plugin create?

The total numbers of SKU that Simple SKU Generator plugin can create is varies between
6 to 13 digits/letters.

### What are the 4 options to used to created the SKU?

(1) Month: 2 dights/Number(1): 1 dight/Number(3): 3 dight/Letter: 1 dight or Blank.(
2) Year: 4 dight. (3) Date: 2 dight. (4) The amount of products you have: 4 dights.

### What are the digits base on?

The digits can be used to create barcode digits for EAN-8, UPC-A, EAN-13, CODE-39,
CODE-93, EAN-128, CODE-128, ITF, QR, DMTX

### What is a Blank?

The Blank purpose is to shorten the digits for EAN-8 (& UPC-C) or for your own preference.
There are Blank for Month/Number(1)/Number(3)/Letter, Year, Date. Letter, Year, 
Date.

I wouldn’t advise shorten less than 8 digits.

It’s hard to read and follow which sku is assign to which product once scan the 
barcode.

### The sku display page has 2 buttons what are their function?

The Remove button will ONLY remove/delete all the SKU from the SKU table not from
the WordPress database. It won’t delete the products on your websites. It’s best
to remove the SKU list after you export the CSV that contain the SKU.

The Export CSV button will export the CSV. There will be no header on the CSV file.

### How do I upload the CSV file that contain the SKU for the products and keep the old SKU?

Before you upload the CSV file, you have to backup database or export your current
products because if you are not sure if you are uploading the CSV file correctly
or make a mistake. You can always import the current products CSV file and redo 
this again correctly.

You can used WooCommerce products (CSV) importer, which is offer by WooCommerce 
plugin to upload the CSV file.

Everytime you open a CVS file it will ask you to save the file twice, just save 
it twice.

Reminder:

*** Before you upload the the new CSV file, you have to backup database or export
your current products ***

### What happened if I deactivate the plugin or delete the plugin?

If you deactivate the plugin it will stay on the plugin page. But if you delete/
remove the plugin it will delete the folders, files and also the tables from the
wordpress database.

I follow the instructions and it works! Is it possible to edit the SKU then export
the list and then upload the spreadsheet? If you can add that, it will speed up 
the process and save time.
