Split Order Lines

Split an order line in the Order Management work area.

In this example, assume you know the Denver warehouse is getting low on inventory, so you split an order line to get 30 units from the Seattle warehouse and 20 units from the Denver warehouse.

Learn about other reasons why you might need to split an order line. For details, see Fix Problems and Improve Performance:

1. Create a sales order that includes an order line with 50 units for the AS54888 item, then submit it.

2. Split the line and set these values:

   Attribute	Description
   New Quantity	30
   Warehouse	Seattle

   Note

   • Assume your order administrator set up Order Management so it automatically gets all units from Denver.

   • Order Management automatically maintains Ordered Quantity across all rows you add. For example, if the order assigned 50 units to Denver, you add a new row and assign 30 units to Seattle, then Order Management automatically sets Denver to 20 units.

   • The values you can set depend on how your order administrator sets up split behavior.

Order Management splits the entire orchestration process that the order line references any time it splits an order line.

Split Lines When You View or Search Orders

Use a Redwood page to split an order line when you view or search a sales order that's in Processing status. Specify the split quantity and update attributes when you do the split, such as warehouse, supplier, supplier site, ship method, and demand class. Do the split without having to unschedule the order line.

Splitting a line that you already submitted but haven't shipped allows you to fulfill the sales order in a timely and efficient way.

Split on the Sales Order Lines Page

Assume a fulfillment line includes a quantity of 10 but the preferred warehouse, Seattle Warehouse, only has 3 in stock. To avoid a delay, you can split the line to get the remaining quantity from other warehouses.

It's easy to do:

1. Select a line that isn't in draft status and that isn't fulfilled on the Sales Order Lines page, then click More Actions > Split Line.
2. Use the Split Line dialog to specify how you want to split the line across warehouses. The split starts a scheduled process that runs in the background. Notice the value of the process ID in the message, such as 726654.
3. Click the Action Status tab, then monitor the status for the 726654 scheduled process.

Split on the Order Page

Open a sales order, select the line that you need to split, then click More Actions > Split Line.

Note:

• You can split lines only for a standard item. If that item has a coverage or subscription, then Order Management will also split them. You can't split a configured item or kit.
• This feature ignores the Splits Allowed attribute on the fulfillment line.
• If the line that you select is in a shipment set, then this feature won't split that line. You must first remove the line from the set, then split it.
• The action request includes details and error messages only for the original line, not the split line.
