Hi @jam_chan , productVariantCreate has an inventoryItem field that you can set these values in https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/2024-07/mutations/productvariantcreate Also mentioned in 2024-04: [AsafGitai_0-1718583855074.png]

Does that mean that in the API version 2024-04 there is not way to set variant SKU?

The inventoryItem field is in 2024-04 as well, you do not need to wait for 2024-07.
