TibxFedExShip

Remarks

Generating a shipping label can be done by calling either the GetPackageLabel or GetShipmentLabels method. You will have to specify the package information, FedEx service to be used for shipping this package, origin and destination information, and any other special services associated with the shipment (such as Saturday Pickup, Saturday Delivery, Hold At Locations, etc.).

This component also allows you to delete packages included in the daily shipping log that have not already been tendered to FedEx by calling the CancelShipment method. The TrackingNumber parameter that identifies the shipment must be specified in the request along with the AccountNumber.

When shipping with FedEx Ground, you can close out your shipments and generate a FedEx Ground Close Manifest by calling CloseGroundShipments method.

To use this component, you must have a FedEx AccountNumber. You should also have already obtained a ClientId and ClientSecret; uniquely assigned to your account by FedEx.

NOTE: FedEx requires that all applications that print shipping labels pass a series of certification tests prior to being placed in production. The full version of FedEx Integrator gives you access to a certification package that makes this process very easy. The certification package is available by request. It includes all test scenarios required by FedEx for FedEx Express and Ground (international and domestic), and Home Delivery. Through the application included in the certification package, you can generate all shipping labels for selected scenarios applicable to your shipping needs with a click of a button.

Remarks

Closing is a function to be used for FedEx Ground shipments only. Express shipments are automatically closed and do not require you to perform a specific close operation. The Close service allows you to reconcile shipping information for your Ground shipments and print a Ground Manifest for your Ground driver.

At the end of the shipping day, you should perform the FedEx Ground End of Day Close procedure. To do so, call the CloseGroundShipments method. The Ground manifest (Manifest stored in ReportFile) is generated after a successful close and must be printed before your Ground shipments are tendered to FedEx. This is required to be tendered to FedEx along with your packages if they are being picked up by FedEx Ground. If you are dropping the packages off at a FedEx drop-off location, the manifest is not required.

You may continue to ship Ground packages after a Close has been performed. The Close service may be performed multiple times during your shipping day. Use the Close service to initiate the final stage of processing all shipment data submitted for the day (close of business).

A customer cannot cancel any shipments once they are closed out. However, shipments can be added to a day's shipment after a close operation has been performed and multiple closes can be performed in a day.

When this method is called, the following properties must have been set:

• AuthorizationToken (required)
• Server (optional)
• AccountNumber (required)
• CloseRequest (required)

ReportType specifies the type of report. Only one type of report can be returned per Close request. If you need multiple report types you will have to issue multiple CloseGroundShipments requests.

The report will automatically be written to the file specified by ReportFile. These reports can be printed anytime during the shipping day for shipments that have already been closed (up to three days in the past).

Config Method (FedExShip Component)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

function Config(ConfigurationString: String): String;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every component. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the component.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the component, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.
