Split an expedite item into two separate items. For example, you can split an expedite item when you want to ship the items in different Material Movement Tickets (MMTs). You can also split an expedite item when the purchase order position related to the expedite item is updated with a quantity that does not match the quantity of the expedite item. The new expedite item contains the same values as the original expedite item except the MMT.
Before you split an expedite item, ensure the expedite item is not related to any supplementary items.
