Is it possible to enable SN Warehouse Tracking and have it be optional to enter serial numbers?

    I do not think so that is possible. Since either item SN controlled or not and if item is SN controlled then need SN. 

    What is a business need here?

    If you enable SN Warehouse Tracking then you cannot optionally enter serial numbers.

    With Serial No Specific Tracking enabled to you can specify which transactions (Inbound and Outbound) that require a Serial No.

    If you want optional tracking you can enable it for one of the transactions in the Item Tracking Code and assign it to the item. This will allow you enter a Serial No. on transactions, but not require it other than the one enabled.

    To be clear, you can have some items with a Lot Tracking Code that requires a SN and other items that do not. But if the Warehouse Tracking in the Lot Tracking Code requires a SN, that's a hard stop if you do not enter a serial number.
