Apple App SKU: How do I view and change SKUs? [closed]

When I go into iTunes connect and create a placeholder for a new App, it asks me for SKU.

It seems that I can pick a number out of the blue to use.

However, where can I find SKUs for my existing apps? I can't find this information anywhere!!!

And where can I change them? Can I? For my first couple of apps I just put in some random number to get past to the next screen. but can I subsequently reorganize everything?

Yet again the attempt to navigate through Apple's application deployment process has left me in a state of frustration and bewilderment.

How do I find the SKU number of an app?

Try to fol­low a pat­tern for the SKU Num­ber of your apps so that you will be able to bet­ter orga­nize them. I sug­gest a com­bi­na­tion of the cur­rent year + month + ID for your app. So if you’re devel­op­ing your first appli­ca­tion on september 1991 (oh,, yah it's my b'day's month and year :D ), you could put your SKU Num­ber as “19910901”.

What can I put in the SKU of my Apps?

You can put what­ever you want in there as long as it is unique among your appli­ca­tions. Try to fol­low a pat­tern for the SKU Num­ber of your apps so that you will be able to bet­ter orga­nize them. I sug­gest a com­bi­na­tion of the cur­rent year + month + ID for your app.

What is a SKU number?

SKU is short for Stock Keeping Unit. It's a number you personally make up, which you yourself can use for keeping track of your applications. You can think of it as a product ID. Source: What SKU Number to use when submitting apps?

If I click on "Manage You Applications" I see a list of both my iOS and Mac OS applications. Clicking on one of those brings me to the summary page for that application. This summary page lists the SKU, Bundle ID, and Apple ID for the application. This is true even for an app that is not yet available for sale.

As to changing it I do not see any way to do that and my suspicion is that you cannot. The SKU is used to identify the app so I believe the intent is that it should stay the same over the lifetime of the app.

Also, if you check the developer forums and search for SKU you will see several people saying that you cannot use a SKU again so that would reinforce the idea that they cannot be changed for an app once they have been set.
