Short answer: Part dispatch of a tile order works when the factory offers it to the dealer first, splits the order into what goes now and what follows, records the stock exit with truck and LR for the part that left, invoices only that part, and keeps the rest of the order open with a planning date. Each truck is its own record against the same order, so neither side loses track of what is still due.
Dealers in Surat, across Gujarat and in Maharashtra often take large orders in parts, either because only part is ready or because the quantity needs more than one truck. This guide covers when to split, how and what SAS shows. For the status side, see tile order status tracking.
When should a tile order be dispatched in parts?
Two common reasons:
Half-ready: part of the order is in stock; the dealer wants it now.
Too big for one truck: the full order is ready but needs several loads.
Some dealers prefer to wait for the full order from one batch. Ask before splitting.
How should a part dispatch be handled?
Five steps, every time.
Offer it to the dealer and get a yes.
Split the order: quantity now, quantity later.
Record the exit with truck, LR and invoice.
Invoice what left, not the full order.
Keep the rest open with a planning date.
What goes wrong with part dispatch?
Full order invoiced, part shipped: invoice per truck.
Rest of order forgotten: keep it open with a date.
Second part from another batch: book the full quantity from one batch.
Dealer not told what is pending: send what left and what is due.
What should the dealer be told after each truck?
Send the invoice, LR number, transporter and boxes for this truck, and the quantity and date for the rest. One message, the same day.

How should a tile factory handle part dispatch of an order?
Offer it to the dealer, split the order into now and later, record the exit and invoice only for what left, and keep the rest open with a planning date.
Should each part dispatch have its own invoice?
Yes, as a default. Invoice what left on that truck so the dealer's dues match the goods received.
Can a part dispatch cause shade problems?
It can, if the second part comes from another batch. Book the full quantity from one batch when the order is confirmed.
What does half-ready mean for a part dispatch?
Half-ready is an order status: part of the order is in stock. It is the usual reason to offer a part dispatch.
Does SAS show half-ready orders?
Yes. The SAS Order View counts half-ready orders alongside ready and not-ready ones, in the screens shared on 19 Oct 2026.
