You're welcome.

The lots viewer is a low level interface into the internals of payment 
handling. I agree it should be the last tool to reach for. And I believe most 
situations can be modeled directly via the process payment window these days, 
although sometimes in two or more steps.

Just for completeness I'll mention that aside from the business functions lots 
are also used for capital gains processing (stock related). But that's not my 
area, so I don't know if it can be avoided in that context or not.
