+Note: A barcode EAN13 identify in most cases a product (as a template), like do the reference of a product (also called '''Part number'''). Identification of the serial or lot can be done with the '''Serial No''' or the '''Product No'''. Serial and Product are sometime an autonomous bar code number, sometimes included into a EAN128 code: http://www.barcodeisland.com/uccean128.phtml

+Note: The '''SKU''' is a generic term to say: "The ID enough accurate to manage stock". So SKU depends if you use lot or not. It can be a '''Part number''' or a '''Serial No'''. Best thing is to avoid using this term to avoid confusion.
