Set up only one customer node for each shop to facilitate customer administration. Add the employees to this customer node who are permitted to request products from this shop.
IMPORTANT:If a shop contains a large number of customers, the calculations in the 
IT Shop can cause a heavy load on the 
DBQueue Processor and therefore on the database server, as well.
Ensure that no more than 30,000 employees are members in a customer node. If necessary, set up your own shopping center with several shops and customer nodes.
