This occurs due to an action called apportionment - that is the division of a value among some items.\n\nHowever, there are scenarios in which the discount amount is indivisible by the number of items, particularly in cases where the SKU has a multiplier unit. So, you need to give different discounts to items of the same SKU for the discount amount to be correct. This ends up assigning different prices, and splitting each unit onto its own line.\n\nThe example below helps to understand this concept :\n\n![Por que o item do carrinho foi separado](https://cdn.statically.io/gh/vtexdocs/help-center-content/refs/heads/main/docs/en/faq/shopping/why-was-the-item-splitted-in-the-cart_1.jpg)\n\n1.
