Confirming a Shipment
Once all pieces are added to the Open Shipment, and the appropriate information has been passed, you
may Confirm the shipment as follows:
• 541 – position 9 set to Y (NNNNNNNNY)
• 542 – set to the unique number passed in the Create
• 1274 – Service Type
Include field 187 (Label Format Value), field 537 (Thermal Printer ID) OR field 544 (Laser Printer ID), and
field 1282 (Printer Type Indicator) if using a printer other than the configured default printer.
Pre-Ship Validation for Open Ship
You can verify a FedEx Express shipment prior to label preparation and shipping. This will ensure that all
package and shipment information is correctly uploaded to FedEx. The Pre-Ship Validation is the same
transaction as a Create shipment with the following exceptions:
• 541 – set ALL positions to N (NNNNNNNNN)
• 542 – should be blank
• 184 – set to Y
