Sold the last of an item with variations - the sku doesn't show on variation sales in

Manage orders awaiting shipment in Seller hub.

I've not a clue which of my 20 boxes these are in.  That info is in my sku.

Anyone know how to find the sku?  Thank you all in advance.

Maybe try printing the "pick list"

that view may show the SKU

(they do show up on my orders...maybe a browser issue? I did one yesterday, but I do not have any pending right now to check for you in my manage orders view)

Ours shows on a packing slip.........not sure if that is an option or does it on all........

Is it possible @anasazirose you entered the SKU at the listing level instead of the variation level?

Look up the item number on your active listings page. If your active page doesn't have a column for custom SKU you can add it using the customize link.

You'll either see a listing level SKU on the active page, or if you click [x variations] you'll see the variation level SKUs on the variations management page.

I'm guessing that might be why you're not seeing the SKU but the rest of us with variations are? Come back and let us know.

Found it, but this is a work around.  I still want to know how to have the SKU appear on variations in the orders awaiting shipment screen.  It does not ever show there for me on variations, even though I have a SKU for every variation.

I found the SKU for the last sales of a variation this way:

Seller Hub>3 dot drop down menu>View order details>More actions drop down menu>Sell similar>SKU is kept and is in the SKU box under the title.

It's in box 9, cost $0, listed March 2022

I would still appreciate any help on how to get it to appear on my variations sales.  Normally I would go to the Seller Hub>active listings and search for the title, but it's not there because these are the last ones.

Thanks you all so much for any continued help, and Merry Christmas!  Amanda

Oh, that screenshot @anasazirose confirms exactly what I posted above - you're using the SKU at the listing level instead of the variations level.

Your options:

1. Add it at the variations level so it appears on your orders page.

2. Leave it at the listing level, but customize your hub active page to show the custom SKU column and look it up there since it won't appear on the orders page.

I have skus for variations - inconvenient because even when I want them to be the same, they can't be, so I end up changing something, usually adding an 'a' to the date, then a 'b' and so on.  I do this because I know skus don't show up for me on variations.

I do normally look it up in active listings, and I couldn't manage without that column.  However, I have been very shortsighted as I never though about the last item of a variation selling.  I have variations on our old coloring book collection, but that's all that I have in that box and I know which it is. I have variations on my seeds and seedlings, but again, know where they are.  Currently, I can think of other variations that I need to figure this out for, such as holiday trinkets and assorted old carp that I lumped together before I subscribed to a store.

I do use a sku at both listing and variation level.  No idea why screenshot of variations is so darn long, but the part at the top is where I tried to copy the screen shot showing the variations within the listing, not just at the 1st listing level.  Someone said it may be the browser, I use Firefox, it may be my antiquated version of Windows.  I also saw a post that someone's SKUs stopped printing on bulk labels and would only print on labels printed singly.  They found an option 'somewhere', and I asked on their post how to have skus print on labels - that might be convenient.
