At Pod, the Product is the parent (or product line) and the SKUs are variants (flavors) of the Product, i.e. a 12oz bag of cookies with 6 bags to a case is the Product and oatmeal, chocolate chip + mint are its SKUs. Product variants should all have the same net weight, case count and number of units percase. In this example, if there was also a 6oz bag of the same flavors, the 6oz bag would become a new Product and the flavors it's SKUs.
