How to access on Fynd Commerce 
Commerce Panel → Orders → My Orders

In certain situations, it is possible to split a shipment that contains multiple items. This option allows for flexibility when managing orders and can be helpful in optimising the fulfilment process based on specific requirements or constraints.

The shipment can be split only when its status is **PLACED**.

### How to Split a Shipment with Multiple Items

1. Open an order. Ensure that the shipment you want to divide contains **multiple items**.
2. Confirm that the shipment status is currently set to **"placed"**, as splitting is only permitted at this stage.
3. Click the **Kebab menu** icon (the three vertical dots) associated with the shipment.
4. Select the option to **split the shipment** from the available actions.
5. Adjust the values in the **Split quantity column** to reflect how you want the items separated.
6. Click **Submit** to complete the process and finalize the split.
