    My opinion is to log as little as possible, and target it to specific fields when you do. Appropriate use might be to log changes to a Customer's Credit Limit (one field), for example.

    Logging changes to POs and SOs means turning on logging for a transactional type table, which is often cautioned against. That said, I have database logged some transactional tables in the area of output orders and shipments (when investigating a bug), and there was minimal impact. Logging was only enabled for a specific, short, period of time though.

    The AX Support team wrote a blog about the performance impact of this functionality recently:
