FedEx Configuration
- Megan Stanage
The carrier configuration page allows you to view and configure settings for FedEx.
The page is divided into two sections:
Carrier configurations for carrier-level settings and default settings.
Service configurations that allow the administrator to enable/disable individual services and to override any header values.
Note
Several of the fields in both sections are used for future ship date functionality. See Future Ship Date for more information.
1| FedEx Configurations
You can configure the fields in this section at the carrier level.
Note
- You must have edit permissions to edit these fields.
- Several of these fields are used when packing within Supply Chain Cloud; they are not used if you are connecting to Supply Chain Cloud from an external system.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Manifest Trigger | Select when containers should be manifested (tracking number is assigned, label is printed):
|
| API Credentials | Select whether Production or Test credentials are used when interacting with the carrier's API. |
| Automatically Adjust Ship Date | Turn on this toggle to enable the carrier to adjust the ship date based on time zone, carrier cutoff, and non-shipping date settings. |
| Cutoff Time | Set the time the carrier picks up its shipments. Any shipments processed after this time will be scheduled for the next shipping day. Note This field respects Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example: FedEx picks up at 6 PM UTC. Anything processed after 6 PM UTC is set to ship the next day. |
| Saturday Pickup | Turn on this toggle to enable Saturday as a shipping day for the carrier. |
| Sunday Pickup | Turn on this toggle to enable Sunday as a shipping day for the carrier. |
Note
The Saturday Pickup and Sunday Pickup toggles are used to determine the next shipping date only. They do not trigger accessorials or contact carriers about weekend pickups.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Shipping Label Document Format | Select the format for shipping labels:
Note This field defaults to ZPL. |
| Enable Label Alias Address | Turn on this toggle to specify a different (alias) return address on the label than where it is actually shipped from. This feature passes the shipper address as the return address and the ship from address as the pickup address. Important You need to make a modification to use this feature in D365 F&SCM. See Alias Address on Shipping Label for more information. |
| Upload Images | Click this button to open the Upload Images page. This page allows you to upload letterhead and signature images for commercial invoices so you can ship to additional international countries. |
Click New to open the Create Special Service Configuration window.
See FedEx Special Services for more information.
2| Service Configurations
You can configure the fields in this section at the carrier-service level.
Important
Values specified at the carrier-service level override those at the carrier level.
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Enable | Select this checkbox to enable a carrier service for use. This narrows the list of services to only those the administrator allows. |
| Service | Displays the service name. |
| Manifest Trigger | Select when containers are manifested (tracking number is assigned, label is printed):
|
| Override Cutoff | Turn on this toggle to override the cutoff time, Saturday pickup, and Sunday pickup configurations in the carrier section at the top of the page for this service. |
| Cutoff Time | Set the time the carrier picks up its shipments for this service. Any shipments processed after this time will be scheduled for the next shipping day. Note This field respects Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example: FedEx picks up at 6 PM UTC. Anything processed after 6 PM UTC is set to ship the next day. |
| Saturday Pickup | Turn on this toggle to enable Saturday as a shipping day for this service. |
| Sunday Pickup | Turn on this toggle to enable Sunday as a shipping day for this service. |
Note
The Saturday Pickup and Sunday Pickup toggles are used to determine the next shipping date only. They do not trigger accessorials or contact carriers about weekend pickups.
