Steps to follow

Adding Additional Items to a Delivery Docket

You can add a schedule to a manifest that has an existing delivery docket ID assigned, thereby merging additional items to a Delivery Docket. Ensure the schedule added has the same corresponding job number and delivery address as the existing schedules on the manifest.

1. Select the Manifest which you’d like to merge the delivery dockets for by clicking the grey box next to the manifest.
   
   For help locating an existing manifest, see our article on Finding an Existing Manifest.

   
   

2. In the Print Delivery Dockets window, delete the delivery ID of the job you wish to have a new job schedule merged into by following our article on Deleting a Delivery ID from a Delivery Docket.
   
   
3. Press the Close button to close the Print Delivery Window. 
   
4. Proceed to the Manifest Items tab. Filter and add the selected schedule. Follow our articles Adding Schedules to a Manifest AND/OR Adding Credits, Purchase Order Collections or Transfers to Manifests for instruction on how to add items to a manifest.
