English translation:individual items on an invoice
Explanation:
I've come across 拆单, and never yet found a very concise way to translate it. It means that what looks like/should be a single invoice/order is broken down into multiple invoices/orders for tax or other reasons.
For your sentence, I might go with:
If individual items on an invoice/order require separate certification, please put a note on the invoice/order next to the items: Certificate Required

Handled separately


Explanation:
When referring to a product, 拆單處理 means it is to be handled through a separate bill.

That said, since you didn't give more context, I think 拆單處理 here means the certificate is to be handled separately.

The whole sentence will be:

If the Certificate is to be handled separately, please specify that a written certificate is required. (or a print copy of the certificate, depending on your text)

Hope this helps.
