Using lots and serials

Generally, the use of lot items and serialized items usually increases the number of records in your database and affects system performance, the more so if you use low volume serialized items or low volume lot items. If low volume lots, low volume serials, or both, are implemented, all warehousing and related financial transactions are performed for individual lots or serial numbers, which results in considerable data growth.

To save system performance and avoid unnecessary data growth, only use these concepts if they are vital to your business processes.
