Inventory Split
One batch of one item is split into several other items. The source batch goes out by the total quantity of the lines; each line comes in as its own item and batch. When a passed quality inspection gave the batch's composition, the lines are suggested from it.
What it is for
It records a breakdown as stock: out of the source batch, into the parts. The parts may carry their own batch numbers and batch attributes.
The one rule people get wrong: the source goes out by the sum of the lines' inventory quantities, not by a quantity typed on the header. Enter every part, waste included, so the source batch is emptied by the right amount.
A split cannot be edited or deleted after Save. Reverse it.

The Item Batch Attribute toolbar button asks for the batch attributes the part requires on this movement.
What happens on Save
One stock document is posted: the source item out of its batch, each part in. See How stock documents work.
If something looks wrong
- "Basic Data - Line ID : ... - Item cannot be Empty" / "... Movement Unit cannot be Empty" / "... Movement Quantity cannot be Zero"
- "Basic Data - Line ID : ... - Batch Attribute ... cannot be empty" - the part requires that attribute.
- "No Batch Attribute Found" - the part has no batch attributes.
- "Stock not available" - the source batch holds less than the parts add up to.
