Caution: The Pickup Carrier should match what is recorded on the FedEx Ship Manager 11.x server as being this entity. This selection should also match what appears on the label as the Pickup Carrier.

Note:FedEx SmartPost® is selected by default.

Return Response in API

To capture all the data returned by the FedEx Ship Manager® Server version 11.x for reporting and analysis, select (check) this check box. The default is for this check box not to be selected.

Note:When this function is enabled using this check box, Parcel captures all data elements returned by the FedEx Ship Manager® Server in the API response from a FedEx carrier request. You can then use information for custom B-Rules, to create reports, or to perform analyses.  Examples of the data that are returned include: Destination Zone, List Rates, Discount Rates, Billed weight, Customized Time in Transit, etc.

Caution: Enabling this function can result in a large amount of data (long response strings from the FedEx Ship Manager® Server) being included in the di_debug log.

Type the fee charged to the customer that will be added to every order (in addition to the freight charge).

For example, if the Customer Charge Type (see following row) is Fixed and the customer charge is $4.00, type 4.00 without the currency symbol. If the Customer Charge Type is Percentage, type the percentage of the total shipment charge to be used to two decimal places with no percent sign. For example, if the charge is 10%, type 10.00
