In many cases, it's necessary to change how items are shipped and when. If you want to ship an item early, or some item is on back-order, you can split a shipment and move the item(s) to create another shipment.
Merging of shipments allows you to combine or move an item(s) into other shipments.
To Split a Shipment:
REQUIREMENTS: The split button will only appear for shipments with a quantity 2 or more of any item.
-
From the Shipments page, click the SPLIT button located below a shipment.
-
This will take you to the Split Shipment page where you will see the items included with shipment.
-
If you want to move a portion of the items in the shipment, then change the quantity of items in the Move column.
-
The next column is Move To. This is where you select the shipment to move the item(s) to. You can choose to create a new shipment or you can move them to an existing shipment.
-
Click the MOVE ITEMS button to continue.
-
The Shipments page will be updated.
NOTE: You cannot move items to a shipment that is already marked as shipped.
To Merge a Shipment:
REQUIREMENTS: The merge button will only appear if there are two or more shipments that have not been marked as shipped.
-
From the Shipments page, click the MERGE button located below a shipment.
-
This will take you to the Merge Shipment page where you will see the items in the shipment.
-
Select an existing shipment to Move these items to. All the items in this shipment will be moved to the shipment you select here.
-
Click the MERGE button to continue.
-
The Shipments page will be updated. The empty shipment will be removed from the order.
NOTE: You cannot merge items to a shipment that is already marked as shipped for obvious reasons. The item is already shipped, you can't ship it again.
