Let us check how the extension works with all the split conditions. Before that set an attribute at the admin as to which the order has to be spit. Suppose we have set the attribute as color and attribute option as black.
Note – These are the product attribute having possible attribute values which are retrieved from finite source(select, multi-select). Along with this, the attribute must be assigned to the default attribute set.
Case 1 – Default Condition
If the Split order condition is set as default than according to this condition if an order is placed then the shipment will split according to the number of items in that order irrespective the attribute is there or not.
Adding the product to cart
There are four items added in the cart and one of the items has the attribute (color-black) which is set as a split attribute at the backend.
Place order
Once the products are added in the cart click on place order to complete the transaction. There will be only one order Id generated even though the order has multiple items in it.
