Install the Fedex Ship Manager Server (FSMS) 

Contact a Fedex representative and request the Fedex Ship Manager Server.  This is NOT the Fedex Ship Manager Workstation software. The FSMS may be installed on the SYSPRO application server or any other server accessible from the SYSPRO application server.

After the FSMS is installed, run the meter registration procedure to register your Fedex account. Note the meter number assigned.

Fedex support will generally assist with the installation, ask them to verify that Fedex Ground is enabled as the default is for it not to be enabled.

Note:  We recommend installing the latest (newest) version of FSMS for ALL new installations as this will minimize the need to upgrade at a future time.

Enable FedEx Integration in the Shipping Station

For each shipping station which will be handling FedEx, go to the freight page of the station setup and enable the FedEx FSMS interface.  Select the FedEx account from the cross-reference and FedEx printer to use for this station.

Important Note: During the testing phase, check the box "Enable FedEx Testing".  This insures that all packages are canceled in the FedEx system immediately after they are created.  This is so FedEx does not expect or bill for any of the test labels. Remember to uncheck this box when changing to a live status.
