Separate a Transaction with splits into multiple transactions

When I order multiple items from Amazon in 1 order, I enter it in Quicken as one credit card transaction with splits for each item in the order. If Amazon delivers each item at a different time they then charge my credit card for each separate delivery. I would like to select the split line in the original order and pull it out into a separate new transaction so I can match it to how Amazon charged my credit card.

Amazon is certainly a pain with how they handle orders and transactions. The flip side of this idea would be to select multiple Quicken transactions with the same payee and combine them into a split.Either one is too fundamental to risk trying.Quicken user since version 2 for DOS, now using QWin Premier Subscription (US) on Win10 Pro.0

Just thinking.......How about setting up a Amazon account like a credit card? Then you can enter the individual items. And when your credit card gets charged make it a transfer to the Amazon account.

With @volvogirl's approach, we could record the purchases and credits with the appropriate Categories in the virtual Amazon account in Quicken and the credit card charges as transfers to that account.QWin Premier subscription0 -
That's what I'm doing with Amazon transactions. Normally I record them directly into the credit card account register, but when an order is split into multiple shipments, I move the transaction to an interim Payables Account, for example:When each shipment arrives, a memorized transaction ("partial shipment" in Memo text) is recorded, transferring the amount to my credit card account.0

Since the major online retailers are making it ever easier to download purchase history it makes total sense that Quicken should have an "import online purchases" feature that is less onerous than having to split every payment entry.
