> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Although we recommend that you manage product objects or SKUs together with associated [product pages](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/configuring-product-page-types.md), as described in [Products](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md), the E-commerce Solution allows you to manage product objects that have no product page assigned. These products are referred to as stand-alone SKUs.

> **Info:** Stand-alone SKUs are disabled by default. You need to modify your on-line store [settings](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/managing-sites/configuring-settings-for-sites/settings-e-commerce.md) to access them.

## Managing stand-alone SKUs

You can manage stand-alone SKUs in the **Products** application. The system displays the **Stand-alone SKUs** node above the [product sections tree](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#product-sections-tree), which lists all stand-alone SKUs defined on the selected site.

Add a new stand-alone SKU by clicking **New** () above the tree while having the **Stand-alone SKUs** node selected. Existing stand-alone SKUs can be modified in a dedicated stand-alone SKUs user interface by clicking **Edit** () in the **Actions** column. Remove a stand-alone SKU from the system by clicking **Delete** ().

If the sections tree is hidden (see [Settings - E-commerce](https://docs.kentico.com/13/configuring-xperience/managing-sites/configuring-settings-for-sites/settings-e-commerce.md)), the system displays both standard and stand-alone SKUs in a single list. You can add a new stand-alone product via **New SKU**.

### Editing stand-alone SKUs

When editing SKUs, the system offers the following tabs:

- [General tab](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#general-tab)
- [Options tab](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#options-tab)
- [Volume discount tab](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#volume-discounts)
- [Pages tab](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/managing-on-line-stores/products.md#pages)

  > **Note:** The **Pages** tab is available only for [global](https://docs.kentico.com/13/e-commerce-features/configuring-on-line-stores/choosing-site-or-global-e-commerce-configuration.md) stand-alone SKUs. If a global SKU is not assigned to a page on a particular site, the Pages tab is empty.

> **Info:** The same tabs containing the same properties are available if you are editing a standard product (i.e. SKU + associated product type page).
