## Description

**Kung Woo Auto Sku for WooCommerce** is a lightweight and efficient tool designed
to save you time by automatically managing your product SKUs.

Whenever you create or save a product (or product variation), the plugin checks 
if the SKU field is empty. If it is, the plugin automatically generates a unique
SKU based on the product ID. You can fully customize the generated SKUs with custom
prefixes and leading zeros.

### Main Features

 * **Automatic SKU Generation:** Automatically assigns the Product ID (or Variation
   ID) as the SKU upon saving.
 * **Bulk Generation:** A powerful AJAX-based bulk tool to generate SKUs for all
   existing products and variations in your store with a single click. Safe for 
   large stores!
 * **Custom Prefix:** Add any string before the ID (e.g., `SKU-1234`).
 * **Leading Zeros:** Define a minimum length for your SKUs. The plugin will automatically
   pad the ID with leading zeros (e.g., ID `12` becomes `SKU-0012`).
 * **Read-Only Protection:** Lock the SKU field on the WooCommerce product edit 
   screen to prevent accidental manual edits of auto-generated SKUs.
 * **Overwrite Mode (New!):** Force the plugin to overwrite existing custom SKUs
   with your new, standardized auto-generated format during bulk generation or product
   saving.

This plugin is designed with performance in mind and strictly follows WordPress 
and WooCommerce coding standards.

## Installation

 1. Ensure that WooCommerce is installed and activated.
 2. Upload the `kung-woo-auto-sku-for-woocommerce` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory, or install the plugin directly through the WordPress plugins screen.
 3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
 4. Navigate to **WooCommerce > Auto SKU** to configure your prefix, leading zeros,
    and other preferences.
 5. (Optional) Use the Bulk Actions section to generate SKUs for existing products.

## FAQ

### Does it work with variable products?

Yes! The plugin fully supports variable products and will automatically generate
a unique SKU for every single variation based on its specific Variation ID.

### Can I use it on an existing store with thousands of products?

Absolutely. The Bulk Generation tool uses AJAX to process products in small batches(
50 at a time), ensuring your server does not crash or time out, regardless of how
many products you have.

### What if I already have SKUs, but I want to standardize them?

You can enable the “Overwrite Existing SKUs” option in the settings. When you run
the Bulk Generation tool, it will replace all your current SKUs with the new auto-
generated format. _Please use this feature with caution._

### Why is the SKU field greyed out?

If the “Read-Only SKU Field” option is enabled in the settings, manual editing of
the SKU field is blocked to maintain consistency in your SKU formatting. You can
turn this off in the settings at any time.
