The Split Batch feature enables transactions within a workflow process to be split, according to the threshold level and approval requirements of that threshold. If transactions within a certain threshold range do not need to be approved, those transactions can be placed into their own batch to continue through the workflow. Transactions of greater amounts that do require approvals are put in another batch and then go through the configured approval process.
The Split Batch feature prevents entire batches from being held up when only some of the transactions require approvals.

How to Enable Split Batches with the Legacy Security Model
