There are two levels of Item Tracking
First level: SN/Lot-specific tracking
If you want to track specific items or specific lots throughout their lifetime, you must choose the SN Specific Tracking and Lot Specific Tracking fields, respectively.

This means that when selling a unit of the item, it must be applied against a specific pool of serial numbers or a specific lot number in inventory.
Or in other words, a serial number or lot number assigned to the item when entering into inventory must follow that item type out of inventory.
