Single Invoice Broken into several charges

Question

I purchased something and manually entered the transaction into Quicken along with the invoice, waiting for it to hit my credit card. When the merchant charged my card they did so with 4 small transactions over a period of 3 days. Everything shipped in a single box, so I have no idea why they did it this way, but the amounts match when added together.

How do I retain this record together?

As a workaround, I can enter the transaction as a 0.00 charge and annotate it, but I know this isn't the right way and this has happened before (Amazon does this often), so I'd like to know the right way to enter this in my records.

Thanks.

Option #2 will lose the invoice with the total.
