fulfillmentOrderSplit

mutation

Requires write_merchant_managed_fulfillment_orders access scope or write_third_party_fulfillment_orders access scope. Also: The user must have fulfill_and_ship_orders permission.

Splits FulfillmentOrder objects by moving the specified LineItem objects and quantities into a new fulfillment order.

If the original fulfillment order can't be split due to its current state, then the mutation creates a replacement fulfillment order instead.
