What it checks
The audit scans every variant on every active product and flags four things: missing barcode, missing SKU, duplicate barcode (same barcode used on more than one variant store-wide), and duplicate SKU. Variants with none of these issues count as clean. It's a point-in-time snapshot — re-run it to refresh the results, it doesn't update itself automatically.
How to run it
Open the audit from the Products page's Audit action, the Barcodes & SKUs dashboard's Audit action, or its "Audit barcodes & SKUs" empty-state button — then click Run audit. It's available on every plan.
It runs as a single background job, so runtime doesn't depend on catalog size — for very large catalogs it can take up to about 20 minutes.
Reading the results
Once the audit finishes, stat tiles show All issues, Missing barcode, Missing SKU, Duplicate barcodes, Duplicate SKUs, and Clean, alongside a "Last audited" timestamp. Click a tile to filter a searchable, paginated table of the flagged variants; the two duplicate tiles switch to a grouped view showing which variants share each value. Use Export CSV to download every flagged item.
Fixing what you find
Use the one-click "Fix N missing barcodes & SKUs" button to jump straight to the assign page preloaded with the right target, or "Choose what to fix" to assign missing barcodes, SKUs, or both separately. You can also select individual rows and bulk-assign just that subset. Nothing changes until you review and save on the assign page.
