The FedEx Shipping Manager plugin automates the process of exchanging Shipment data between your Salesorder system and FedEx Manager.

Workflow

Step
Action

1

Shipments are created in Salesorder.

2

Integration automatically pulls the list of Shipments into FedEx Manager.

3

User prepares Items/Packages to be shipped, i.e. weigh shipment etc.

4

User generates a Tracking Number in Fedex Manager.

5

FedEx prints the shipping label.

6

Integration automatically updates the tracking number (or, the user may manually update at any time).

7

Salesorder receives and stores the tracking number on the Shipment.

8

User sets the Shipment Shipping status to 'Shipped', from the List or Shipment.

Getting Started

Upon installation of this plugin, you will be required to also install an application (see below) to link Salesorder and FedEx. This application downloads the Excel file to your local computer, and you can import it from there. It updates the Excel file every 10 minutes. Once it is downloaded on a local computer, the Excel file can be imported into the FedEx application.

Prerequisites

This plugin is only available for Windows users.

  1. Before installing the Fedex Integration you must ensure that your local device is equipped with the correct Java application.

Installation

Setup > Plugin Store > FedEx Integration > Register and Install

  1. Install this application:

  1. A .zip file will appear in your downloads folder on your local device. Right-click and then select ‘Extract All…’

  1. This will open:

  1. Right-click on ‘Setup Application’ and ‘Run as Administrator’.

    a) Enter your Salesorder account number (without the ‘SOA’ Prefix)

    b) Account key (To access the account key, go to Setup > Configuration > API, copy and paste here)

    c) Paste the local directory (see below)

  1. Click ‘Test Settings’. A .csv file will appear in the folder.

If the test is successful, you may ‘Install Service’. From now on, the integration will update every 10 minutes unless updated manually. (see how below).

By default, FedEx APIs are polled every 60 minutes to update tracking numbers on orders and shipments. However, you can use the button "Update FedEx Order Tracking Numbers" on the plugin configuration page to run the process immediately.

The action "Update Tracking Number" is also available on the Order and Shipment document to run the process immediately for the particular order or shipment.
