Preparing a Shipping Transaction
The 020 transaction set is the transaction format you will use for all of the shipping methods supported by
FedEx. In addition to Express, Ground, and International shipping fields, the 020 transaction also
provides functionality for:
• Rating FedEx Express and FedEx Ground/Home Delivery shipments
• Receiving a FedEx Express service commitment
• Retrieving FedEx Express package routing information
• Requesting a FedEx Ground/Home Delivery “Time-in-Transit” information
This section of the User Guide includes basic instructions for coding the 020 transactions. Once you
have a basic overview of how these transactions work, you may use the FSMS TCR Version 7.6 to
create transactions for your specific shipping requirements.

you can easily identify the fields that can be used for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, or FedEx
International shipping. The following table is a sample entry from the FSMS TCR:
