    Best I could find:
     
    http://blog.8thandwalton.com/2013/08/walmart-supplier-glossary-sku/
     

    The term has been used since the mid-1970s.


     In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

    It must have come about before the 1980s.  Here on Britannica they write; "UPC will encode a product at SKU, UPC is maintained by the Uniform Code Council founded 1972." (paraphrased)

    (Would drummers be considered BKU's?  Beat-keeping Units?)
