Fields for uploading Electronic Trade Documents while shipping are:

 Field 2817 (Document Reference ID); this field is REQUIRED for all 049/149 and 020/120
transactions.

Note: If this field is not used in the transaction, then this will be auto-generated by FSMS. If documentation is
previously uploaded with the 049/149 Pre-Shipment Document Upload Request/Reply transaction, then the
document reference ID from that transaction should be passed in the 020 Global Ship Request transaction. If
you create your own Document Reference ID in a 049/149 Pre-Shipment Document Upload Request/Reply
transaction, it is simpler to link, but if you let FedEx create the link, it will be 40 characters long.

 Field 2818 (ETD Document Type); this field is REQUIRED for all 049/149 and 020/120
transactions.
 Field 2819 (ETD Document Filename); this field is REQUIRED for all 049/149 and 020/120

The following optional fields override the configuration settings:

 Field 2820 (ETD Wait for Confirmation)

 Filed 2805 (ETD Indicator)
 Field 2821 (ETD Document Generation)
 Field 2821 will be used in the 020/120 Global Ship Request/Reply Transactions so customers
can identify Customer Generated as the ETD Document Type in case of Multiple Customer
Invoices (FedEx Express and FedEx Ground) or Multiple Pro forma Invoices (Express).

Note: The label image is uploaded at ship time. For Single Piece, Single Shot, Total Piece/Total Weight and

10.6.7 Returning Total Charges Without Added Canada Taxes

For FedEx Express International shipments, a FedEx company can receive a rate quote given in CAD
(Canada dollars) for all Canada-origin shipments regardless of the billed currency type on a
customer's account. This is a change from the current behavior for users who have their accounts
billed in a non-CAD currency and cannot receive a rate quote in CAD.

This feature allows a shipper to set up the quick rate quote to display a quote that does not include
Canadian taxes or to show the total rate (with taxes) in their quick rate quote. A pre-tax rate, a sub-
total, and a net rate total can be given in the breakdown of charges shown in a detailed rate quote.
For this feature, the sub-total rate, which gives the rate prior to taxes, is the default, but the shipper
can set an option that allows taxes.

It also allows the FedEx® International DirectDistribution Surface Solutions shipper who bills in USD to
receive a rate quote for non-IDD Surface services.

The rate quote will not be available for clients if there is a Carriage Value and the currency is declared
in a non-origin currency type. If the rate quote is not available, FSMS sends an error message that
explains the circumstances.

Fields for Returning Shipping Costs

The below table lists the existing fields that FSMS shippers can continue to use to return shipping
cost amounts:

10.8 049/149 Post-Shipment Document Upload

Post Shipment Document Upload (PSDU) is a feature where the user gets the privilege of uploading
ETD documents even after the shipment is confirmed. The maximum number of documents that can
be uploaded in a 049 Post Shipment Document Upload transaction is 9.

Shipping transaction options

To choose post shipment document upload option for EDT shipment use the tag#7701 in your 020
shipment transaction. It will generate the tracking number which can be used to upload the
documents at later time using 049 transaction.

FedEx Ship Manager® Server Developer Guide, 2018 798

 FedEx Express International Services

Configuration Settings
In the FedEx Configuration windows Meter Settings Tab, under ETD default Options group, a new
checkbox "Use Post Shipment Document Upload" is added to set the preference for the post
shipment document upload. The default for this setting will not be selected.

The ETD Default Options which is now available at the User Level, includes the “Use Post Shipment
Document Upload” checkbox. This is available only on the Meter Settings Tab when the “ETD Allowed
“checkbox is selected.

10.8.1 070/170 Meter Query Configuration Update Transaction

FedEx Ship Manager Server (FSMS) supports the newly requested data element Post Shipment
Document Indicator, tag# 7705, within the 070/170 Request & Reply Meter Query/Configuration
Update Transaction.

Meter Query Function Tag 556 and Process Code = 2

If you send a 070 transaction with Tag 556 and Process Code set to "2", FedEx Ship Manager Server
(FSMS) returns the 170 reply:

Post Shipment Document Upload indicator Tag 7705 set to "Y" if the Use Post Shipment Document
Upload checkbox is checked on the meter settings tab.

FedEx Ship Manager® Server Developer Guide, 2018 799

 FedEx Express International Services

Post Shipment Document Upload indicator Tag 7705 set to "N" if the Use Post Shipment Document
Upload checkbox is unchecked on the meter settings tab.

Configuration Function Tag 556 and Process Code = 3 in Meter Settings Tab
FedEx Ship Manager Server (FSMS) enables customers to update the “Use Post Ship Document
Upload” checkbox on the Meter Settings tab using the 070 transaction. This is not dependent on the
availability of the ETD.

If customer sends 556 set to "3", customer must send tag 7705 set to Y/N in order to update the “Use
Post Ship Document Upload” checkbox on the Meter Settings Tab.

Note: ETD Availability - If ETD is unavailable, this function will still occur and the change requested
will be stored in the database.

10.9 Express Weight Rounding Rules

Fractional customer/DIM weight (including 1/100th of a lb or Kg) of all express packages and freight
shipments will be rounded up to the next whole pound or 0.5 kilogram. The pound will be rounded up
in 1 pound increments and the kilo will be rounded up in 0.5 kilo increments.

When using Field 1670 (Fractional Package Weight), FSMS accepts two decimals places and rounds
to the next pound. For example, Field 1670 = 1002 LBS, and the 120 Global Ship Reply transaction
returns Field 60 (Billed Weight) = 11 LBS and prints 11 LBS on the label. This behavior is the same
for intra-country Express and intra-country Ground shipments.

Note: These rules already apply for Ground shipments and for intra-country Express shipments, so to make the
customer experience consistent. Express services will consistently apply this rule for all international services.

10.10 ETD Upload Performance and Reliability

To improve the performance and upload success rate, the file size has been increased from 1 MB to 5
MB. The size limit for the combination of all files uploaded in a single 049 or 020 transaction is 5MB
total.

The maximum number of documents that can be uploaded in a single 049 transaction is 20. You can
use multiple 049 transactions and upload 20 documents as long as you do not exceed the overall size
limitations. The limit is 100 documents per shipment.

For Example: If you have a 1MB Commercial invoice, a 1MB signature image, and a 1MB letterhead
image, it counts in total as uploading 3 MB.

The maximum length of the path to the upload file is now changed from 30 characters to 255
characters.
