Splitting Shipments

If there are two or more items within an order, they can be split into separate shipments. This is useful for expediting items within the order that are immediately ready for shipment, while other items have extra shipping lead time.

Go to an existing purchase order or create a new one. The order must have two or more items.
Go to the Details tab in the order form. Look for Shipment # 1.
Select the item you want to move by clicking on the Move icon.
The pop-up appears, which allows you to choose to move the item(s) to an existing shipment or create a new shipment. You can also select the quantity of the item to move. Each new shipment within the order can have its own separate shipping address and shipping method. Select a shipping address and shipping method from their respective drop-down lists. Click OK to save your changes.
After splitting the shipments, the order form goes into Edit Mode. The Details page shows the new shipment, which can be processed completely separate from one another, but tied to a single purchase order.
Click Save to save your changes.
