If you are familiar with Item Tracking code in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, you can assign serial numbers and lot numbers to any outbound or inbound documents on every line item.

And if you are going through the parameters of the Item Tracking Code, you will notice a lot of parameters, you may get confused with all of these parameters and where you can use it in the system.

So i created this table to describe the impact of every parameter, and where you can use it in the system.

Hope this help illustrate when and where to use every parameter or not.
