Best practices for fulfilling one-to-many partial shipments

[rwilder]

Hello,

We're running into a problem where our fulfillments(via NetSuite) are usually one-to-one with their line items in Miva, but if there was a partial fulfillment our system does this inline (ex: T-shirt - QTY ordered: 100 - fulfilled: 75 - backordered: 25) but Miva requires it to be split into separate lines (T-shirt - QTY: 75 - Status: shipped , T-shirt - QTY: 25 - Status: backordered). How do people normally map this process? Are there any common solutions?

Thanks,

Also, it looks like the "split" function that exists in the UI isn't available in the api. And I don't think a LineItem_Update + LineItem_Add would work since the adds automatically add back to the existing line item if it hasn't been marked shipped yet.

From the API, how should we be handling an item that had 100 ordered but only 75 fulfilled?
