How Parcel Determines Time in Transit for FedEx Shipments

Parcel first sends a request to the FedEx Ship Manager® Server for time in transit data. If data is returned by this method, Parcel uses this for Delivery Date and Delivery Time. If, for some reason, no data is returned, Parcel uses local data created by importing time in transit files .

Notes:

For some FedEx services, the FedEx Ship Manager® Server does not return time in transit data. For these services, you must use imported time in transit data.
For information on configuring Time in Transit calculations, see the following Help topics:
- Overview of TINT Calculation
- Time in Transit Files
