Hello Suraj, This will be surely a good architecture for the businesses who route shipments from different locations and allow partial returns etc. As far as I remember, there is one flag at the product store level with the name "explodeOrderItems". When we set this flag to "Y", the system explodes order items and create a separate order item data for multi-quantity items in the order. I haven't tested it thoroughly but it works quite well on the trunk code.
Let's have others to comment on this. Also, let me know if you have already tested this flow.
