Amazon purchases: way to split charge amounts?

When one orders from Amazon, one gets an invoice including: item subtotal and info re shipping, coupons, taxes and reward "points" (i.e. credit). When I enter the original order into my Amazon cc account, I have categories for all lines in the invoice so totals are correct. All is well until they ship. One then gets an invoice with the same Grand Total and ADDITIONAL LINES showing individual credit card transactions created when the goods in the order are shipped at different times. The shipping, coupon, taxes and rewards credits are fixed. The credit card charge amounts vary according to when product is shipped. How can this be handled in Quicken? My latest Amazon invoice has three (3) credit card transactions totaling the original "Item Subtotal".
In a nutshell, credit card charge amounts are VARIABLE and the shipping, coupons, taxes and rewards categories are FIXED. HELP! As a result, credit card account reconciliation is a nightmare.
At present I'm planning on deleting the individual transaction amounts downloaded from the credit card account and marking the original account as cleared.
Suggestions would be appreciated.

The other choice would be to keep the original overall transaction and reduce it as the pieces are downloaded and kept as is and match the original (with the remaining split detail) when the last part downloads.There is no real clean way to do this because of the way Amazon does their business. I'm not knocking it, it is just the way it happens.I never see this because I rarely ever buy more than one thing at a time from Amazon, so mine match up one to one.
