Creating a Basic FedEx Express Transaction
For any transaction processed by FSMS, you must include basic shipping information fields. After these
fields have been coded as part of your shipping transaction, you may also add any Special Option fields
as needed for your shipment.
In the sample transaction and field descriptions below, we assume that the FedEx Express shipment is
U.S. to U.S. only. For more information regarding International transactions, see the “Basic FedEx
International Shipping Transaction (020)” section later in this chapter.
