If this option is ticked when creating the clear stock order, rotations found in the locations selected and also stored in that list will be split out into a separate duty paid order.

Warning

Your system will be able to handle 10x the normal average number of lines you have on orders without any issues, but you should aim to have no more than 150 lines per order unless you have previously agreed with support team in advance as this will utilise database memory and we need to be sure you have enough available.
