A split checklist is used as a control for shop order splits. It defines a set of checklist items (documents or activities) that must be approved before a shop order can be split.
To create split checklist for a shop order, click Merges and Splits and the Maintain Split Checklist. In the assistant, either enter the split checklist items manually, or populate the list by selecting a template from the Source Template field.
If a split checklist template is set as the site default template on Create Split Checklist Template, it is automatically populated in the Source Template field when the Maintain Split Checklist assistant is opened.
If the default split checklist template has Auto Attach to Shop Order enabled, the checklist is automatically attached to the shop order when it is created. In this case, Split Chop Order command is disabled, and the shop order cannot be split until all checklist items are approved.
If no split checklist is attached to a shop order, the order can be split directly by any authorized user.
