In some cases, it may be necessary to split a manufacturing +order that contains multiple units into two or more orders, or to merge two or more orders into a +single order. + +.. important:: + A manufacturing order can only contain one unit of a product, or multiple units of a single + product that all use the same Bill of Materials (BoM). As a result, it is only possible to merge + manufacturing orders when every order contains the same product being manufactured with the same + BoM. + +Split manufacturing orders +========================== + +To split a manufacturing order into multiple orders, begin by navigating to +:menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Operations --> Manufacturing Orders`, then select a manufacturing +order. At the top of the page, next to the :guilabel:`New` button, the manufacturing order's +reference number appears with a :guilabel:`⚙️ (settings)` button next to it. + +Click the :guilabel:`⚙️ (settings)` button to open the general settings for the manufacturing order, +then select :guilabel:`Split`. + +.. image:: split_merge/settings-split.png + :align: center + :alt: The Settings and Split buttons on a manufacturing order. + +After selecting :guilabel:`Split`, a :guilabel:`Split production` pop-up window appears. In the +:guilabel:`Split #` field, enter the number of manufacturing orders that the original order should +be split into, then click outside of the field. A table appears below, with a line for each new +manufacturing order that will be created by the split. In the :guilabel:`Quantity To Produce` +column, enter the number of units that will be assigned to each new manufacturing order. Finally, +click :guilabel:`Split` to split the manufacturing order. + +.. image:: split_merge/split-production-window.png + :align: center + :alt: The Split production pop-up window for a manufacturing order. + +After clicking :guilabel:`Split`, the original manufacturing order is split into the number of +orders that was specified in the :guilabel:`Split #` field. The reference numbers for the new +manufacturing orders are the reference number for the original order with *-###* tags added to the +end. + +.. example:: + Manufacturing order *WH/MO/00012* is split into three separate orders. The reference numbers for + the new orders are *WH/MO/00012-001*, *WH/MO/00012-002*, and *WH/MO/00012-003*. + +Merge manufacturing orders +========================== + +To merge two or more manufacturing orders into a single order, begin by navigating to +:menuselection:`Manufacturing --> Operations --> Manufacturing Orders`.
