  Key Concepts: 
  Split rule is a feature of SAP Vehicle Scheduling (SCM-APO-VS) that allows users to divide a single order into multiple orders. This is useful when the order is too large to be handled by a single vehicle or when the order needs to be split into multiple delivery locations. The split rule also allows users to specify the number of orders that should be created from the original order. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the split rule, users must first create an order in SAP Vehicle Scheduling. Once the order is created, users can select the “Split Rule” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can specify the number of orders they want to create from the original order. After specifying the number of orders, users can click “OK” to create the new orders. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the split rule, it is important to remember that each new order created will have its own delivery date and time. Therefore, it is important to plan ahead and make sure that all orders are scheduled for delivery at a time that is convenient for all parties involved.
