Line Items

Split and manage line items across shipments

Split Line Items

Split line items across multiple packages or shipments.

Splitting line items allows you to distribute a product's quantity across multiple packages or even multiple shipments. This is useful when an order ships in multiple boxes or at different times.

How to Split a Line Item

1

Open the line item menu

Click on the line item menu and select "Split Line Item"

2

Adjust the quantity

Enter a new unit quantity for the split line item or click the up/down buttons. The quantity is taken from the parent line item.

3

Assign to package or shipment

The split line item can stay in the same package or be moved to a different package/shipment

Common Use Cases
  • Split across boxes: 10 units total → 6 units in Box 1, 4 units in Box 2
  • Partial shipment: 8 units available now, 2 units backordered for later shipment
  • Multiple locations: Ship some units from warehouse A, rest from warehouse B

Unsplitting Line Items

You can unsplit a line item to return its quantity back to the parent line item. This is helpful if you change your mind about how to package an order.

Simply open the split line item menu and select "Unsplit" to merge it back.

Weight Calculation
When you split line items across packages, each package's weight is calculated based on the items it contains. If items have unit weights configured, this happens automatically.

Move Line Items

Transfer line items between shipments and packages.

Moving line items between shipments and packages gives you complete flexibility in how you fulfill orders. You can reorganize line items at any time before shipping.

Available Actions

Open the line item menu to see available actions:

Move to Different Package

Transfer the line item to another package within the same shipment. Useful for reorganizing how items are packed.

Move to Different Shipment

Transfer the line item to a different shipment entirely. Use this when items ship at different times or from different locations.

Split Line Item

Divide the line item's quantity across multiple packages or shipments. See the "Split Line Items" section for details.

When to Move Line Items
  • Reorganizing packages: Balance weight across boxes
  • Partial fulfillment: Ship available items now, backordered items later
  • Multi-location fulfillment: Different warehouses shipping different items
  • Size constraints: Large items need their own box
Automatic Calculations
When you move line items between packages, package weights and customs declarations update automatically based on the items in each package.

Edit Item

Edit the Item information from a line item without changing pages.

You can edit an item's shipping information directly from a line item without leaving the order page. This is convenient when you need to quickly update unit weight, customs data, or country of origin.
