NOTE:
* Either field 78 OR fields 82 and 1030 must be used. Field 78 = 82*1030.
The following fields are optional:
• 120 – Marks and Numbers
• 601 – ITAR Exemption
• 1678 – Commodity Index Number
Editing a Commodity:
Editing a commodity requires the use of field 1678 (Commodity Index Number). Each commodity is
assigned a value either by FSMS or by the user. If the user does not assign an index number during the
Create transaction or Add Commodity transaction, FSMS will assign a default value and it will be of the
form FDX0, FDX1, etc. The assigned number is returned in the 120 Reply transaction. When editing a
commodity field, 1677 is required with a value of 2 to specify that an Edit is desired, field 1678 is required
so the desired edit can take place on the specified commodity, and the commodity value to be edited is
required.
Deleting a Commodity:
Deleting a commodity requires field 1677 with a value of 3 and field 1678 to specify the commodity to be
deleted.
Carriage Value
Carriage Value is the insurable value of the product being shipped. Field 69 indicates the Carriage Value
and is a package level field that requires multiple occurrences equal to the number of packages shipped.
For example, if shipping five packages, then field 69 is repeated five times …69,”20000”69-2,”21500”69-
3,”30000”69-4,”32000”69-5,”40500”… The shipment Carriage Value becomes the sum of each
occurrence. This total value is uploaded to FedEx systems.
