For example, store associates may use product SKUs to verify received inventory, while merchandising teams may find it more convenient to use the parent product name when setting inventory thresholds. Published **June 27, 2023** Type **Product Update** Author **Aditya Patel** Employees may prefer different identifiers based on the department they belong to. For example, store associates may use product SKUs to verify received inventory, while merchandising teams may find it more convenient to use the parent product name when setting inventory thresholds. All apps have now been categorized based on their domain within an organization, such as inventory management or merchandising, letting their respective users manage their own product identifier preferences for their domain of apps. For example, store associates may use a product’s SKU as their Primary Product Identifier on the [Receiving App](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/store-inventory-management), that preference will also carry over to the Fulfillment, Picking, and [Inventory Count apps](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/store-inventory-management) without affecting the preferences of merchandising apps such as the [Threshold Management App](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/unified-inventory/). ## More from this month ### [Product Update Merchandisers will get better explainability when PO’s future inventory is reallocated Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/merchandisers-will-get-better-explainability-when-pos-future-inventory-is-reallocated) ### [Product Update Launched In-Store Returns Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/launched-in-store-returns) ### [Product Update Organize Picklists by Sorting Order Items Read update](https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/organize-picklists-by-sorting-order-items) [![HotWax Commerce](https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Hotwax-2021/HotWax_February2020/Images%20Icons,%20Apparel%20background,%20Hexagon/logo-hotwax-dark.svg "HotWax Commerce")](https://www.hotwax.co/) ### Connect ### Headquarters 175 S Main St Suite 1310, Salt Lake City, UT 84111 - Product - [Omnichannel Order Management](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system/) - [FAQ](https://www.hotwax.co/frequently-asked-questions) - [Product Updates](https://www.hotwax.co/product-update) - [Documentation](https://www.hotwax.co/hotwax-commerce-documentation) - Use cases - [Buy Online Pick-Up In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-pick-up-in-store-bopis-software/) - [Configurable Order Routing](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/configurable-order-routing) - [Ship From Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/ship-from-store-software) - [Unified Inventory](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/unified-inventory/) - [Pre-Orders](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/pre-orders/) - [Buy Online Return In Store](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/buy-online-return-in-store-boris-software) - [Store Inventory Management](https://www.hotwax.co/solution/store-inventory-management) - Solutions - [Omnichannel OMS for Shopify](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-order-management-system-for-shopify/) - [Omnichannel Retail Sales Audit](https://www.hotwax.co/product/omnichannel-retail-sales-audit-oresa/) © 2026 HotWax Commerce ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Aditya Patel", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/author/aditya-patel" }, "dateModified" : "2026-03-20T05:56:11.711Z", "datePublished" : "2023-06-27T18:30:00.000Z", "headline" : "Choose Preferred Product Identifiers", "image" : [ "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Sample%20Product%20Update%20frame.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://www.hotwax.co/product-updates/choose-preferred-product-identifiers", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://www.hotwax.co/hubfs/hotwax-logo.png" }, "name" : "HotWax Commerce" } } ```
