Order Split

Order Split refers to the operation of breaking down a single original order into multiple sub-orders according to specific rules (such as delivery date, shipping method, inventory location, customer requirements, etc.). It is commonly seen in foreign trade scenarios: after a customer places an order, due to stock shortages of certain items, shipment must be made in batches, or goods need to be shipped from different factories/warehouses, or orders are consolidated/split to optimize freight costs. Use cases include: letters of credit requiring partial shipment, customers specifying different consignees, mixed LCL and FCL, etc. Notes: After splitting, ensure that the amount, quantity, and terms of each sub-order are consistent with the original order to avoid customs declaration and settlement errors; if a letter of credit is involved, the partial shipment terms must be strictly followed, otherwise payment may be refused. Difference from 'Partial Shipment': Order Split is an internal operation and may not involve actual partial shipment; while Partial Shipment is the actual shipment in installments and must be reflected in the documents. It is the opposite of 'Order Merge'.
