XSL Replace an element by splitting it's values - xslt-1.0

Question

I have the following XML which contains the order details in single element.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MESSAGE xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<MESSAGE_ID>361155</MESSAGE_ID>
<NAME>Header123</NAME>
<HEADERS>
<HEADER>
<ACTION_COUNT>1</ACTION_COUNT>
<ACTION_DESC>
<DAILY_LOAD>
<LOAD_NO>1</LOAD_NO>
<CUSTOMER_NO>09656951</CUSTOMER_NO>
<REFERENCE xsi:nil="1"/>
<SERIAL>450255470000403803</SERIAL>
<ORDERS>
<ORDER>
<ITEM>5000128762885</ITEM>
<DETAILS>4582;Robert and Co;8;5526;SWD</DETAILS>
<EMP_NO>13</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>20110611</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>5000128910035</DEPOT>
</ORDER>
<ORDER>
<ITEM>5000128853613</ITEM>
<DETAILS>5000;Anne and Co;9;2020;ATM</DETAILS>
<EMP_NO>5</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>20110613</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>5000128910035</DEPOT>
</ORDER>
</ORDERS>
</DAILY_LOAD>
</ACTION_DESC>
</HEADER>
</HEADERS>
<LIST_ID>23689</LIST_ID>
<TRAILER>TEST_NEEDED</TRAILER>
</MESSAGE>
I need that to be transformed into the following format.
(only the DAILY_LOAD>ORDERS section should be changed as below)
.....
<ORDERS>
<ORDER>
<ITEM>5000128762885</ITEM>
<ORDER_NO>4582</ORDER_NO>
<CUSTOMER>Robert and Co</CUSTOMER>
<NO_OF_ITEMS>8</NO_OF_ITEMS>
<TOTAL>5526</TOTAL>
<LOCATION>SWD</LOCATION>
<EMP_NO>13</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>20110611</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>5000128910035</DEPOT>
</ORDER>
<ORDER>
<ITEM>5000128853613</ITEM>
<ORDER_NO>5000</ORDER_NO>
<CUSTOMER>Anne and Co</CUSTOMER>
<NO_OF_ITEMS>9</NO_OF_ITEMS>
<TOTAL>2020</TOTAL>
<LOCATION>ATM</LOCATION>
<EMP_NO>5</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>20110613</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>5000128910035</DEPOT>
</ORDER>
</ORDERS>
.....
The transformed XML contains no but it's divided into CUSTOMER, NO_OF_ITEMS, TOTAL and LOCATION. Any suggestion or help will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

XSLT 1.0
Using tokenizeString template as suggested in Heber.it blog. I have modified the code for producing different tag names depending on recursion level (ORDER_NO, CUSTOMER, NO_OF_ITEMS, etc).
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- replaces order nodes -->
<xsl:template match="ORDER">
<ORDER>
<xsl:call-template name="tokenizeString">
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="./DETAILS"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select="';'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="level" select="1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</ORDER>
</xsl:template>
<!-- copy everything that doesn't match another template -->
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- template to tokenize strings -->
<xsl:template name="tokenizeString">
<!--passed template parameter -->
<xsl:param name="list"/>
<xsl:param name="delimiter"/>
<xsl:param name="level"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($list, $delimiter)">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$level = 1">
<ITEM>
<xsl:value-of select="ITEM"/>
</ITEM>
<ORDER_NO>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($list,$delimiter)"/>
</ORDER_NO>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$level = 2">
<CUSTOMER>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($list,$delimiter)"/>
</CUSTOMER>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$level = 3">
<NO_OF_ITEMS>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($list,$delimiter)"/>
</NO_OF_ITEMS>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="$level = 4">
<TOTAL>
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($list,$delimiter)"/>
</TOTAL>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:call-template name="tokenizeString">
<!-- store anything left in another variable -->
<xsl:with-param name="list" select="substring-after($list,$delimiter)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delimiter" select="$delimiter"/>
<xsl:with-param name="level" select="$level + 1"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$list = ''">
<xsl:text/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<LOCATION>
<xsl:value-of select="$list"/>
</LOCATION>
<EMP_NO>
<xsl:value-of select="EMP_NO"/>
</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>
<xsl:value-of select="USE_BY_DATE"/>
</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>
<xsl:value-of select="DEPOT"/>
</DEPOT>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
XSLT 2.0
Using tokenize function you can do this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- this template replaces order nodes -->
<xsl:template match="ORDER">
<ORDER>
<xsl:variable name="fields" select="tokenize(DETAILS, ';')"/>
<ITEM>
<xsl:value-of select="ITEM"/>
</ITEM>
<ORDER_NO>
<xsl:value-of select="$fields[position()=1]"/>
</ORDER_NO>
<CUSTOMER>
<xsl:value-of select="$fields[position()=2]"/>
</CUSTOMER>
<NO_OF_ITEMS>
<xsl:value-of select="$fields[position()=3]"/>
</NO_OF_ITEMS>
<TOTAL>
<xsl:value-of select="$fields[position()=4]"/>
</TOTAL>
<LOCATION>
<xsl:value-of select="$fields[position()=5]"/>
</LOCATION>
<EMP_NO>
<xsl:value-of select="EMP_NO"/>
</EMP_NO>
<USE_BY_DATE>
<xsl:value-of select="USE_BY_DATE"/>
</USE_BY_DATE>
<DEPOT>
<xsl:value-of select="DEPOT"/>
</DEPOT>
</ORDER>
</xsl:template>
<!-- this template copies everything that doesn't match another template -->
<xsl:template match="#* | node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#* | node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
