Cause

System behavior.

Resolution

The system is merging the lines from the Goods and Service Receipt because they are from the same line in the Purchase Orders and in the Purchase Order the ship-to is from one place only, so system understand it as two different deliveries at the same place, and that is why even if you do an Invoice directly from Goods and Service Receipt, selecting two Goods and Service Receipt, the system will merge in one line.

If you want that the system does not merge, you can add 2 lines in the Purchase Order with different ship-to, in that way you can make two different Goods and Service Receipt and just one invoice, and it will display as two different lines in the invoice.
