Plain Manifest

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Plain Manifest does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves

constant margins; the hairline rules that open and close the page; the foot line carrying the despatch number (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)

Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data

manifest rows (table rows; column head repeats on page break); consignment cells

Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking

consigned-to and sold-to address blocks; product descriptions may wrap to two lines; the shortages paragraph; the returns paragraph

Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks

the top hairline sits below the running line and the foot line at the page bottom on every page

Order on the pageWhat sits after what

the count summary after the manifest; shortages and returns after the summary; the receiving signature last

Page breaksWhat may split, what must not

the manifest may split across pages; the count summary and the receiving signature must not

Last pageHow the document ends

count summary, shortages, returns and the receiving signature may occupy the final page alone; the running line and foot line carry it
