A split delivery divides one order into more than one release. Keep the quantities, part identities and required records tied to each shipment. An accepted first release should not silently be treated as acceptance of everything still in production.
Define the release plan
Identify which items and quantities are intended for each release and which approval or documentation gates apply. Confirm changes through the agreed order process. A production lot, an inspection sample and a shipment can have different boundaries, so use their identifiers deliberately.
Track what actually left
The packing and release record should distinguish the current shipment from the order total and remaining balance. Link the relevant revision and agreed inspection evidence. If a document covers a broader lot, make the relationship to the shipped parts clear rather than attaching it without explanation.
Close the order with a reconciliation
Record received quantities and unresolved differences through the parties’ agreed process. Keep replacements, retained samples or cancelled quantities visible so a later shipment is not counted twice. This article concerns clear records; it does not set transport terms, transfer of risk or a payment rule. Those matters belong to the actual agreement.
For the project review: release quantities and applicable gates; lot versus shipment identities; documents tied to shipped parts; delivered and remaining balance.
