Chapter Four: FSMS Revenue Management
Overview
FSMS offers revenue upload and management functionality to provide accurate billing and reporting of
your shipping costs. In this section of the FSMS User Guide, we will discuss:
• Revenue Options Set-Up
• Rating Management
Revenue Options Set-Up
When you install or upgrade FSMS, there are several revenue set-up options (for both FedEx Express
and FedEx Ground shipping) that must be checked and/or configured before you start shipping. These
options are:
• No Upload/No Ship (NUNS)
• Force Close
No Upload/No Ship (NUNS)
To monitor communication conditions that prevent the Hourly Upload of revenue data to FedEx, FSMS is
installed with an option called No Upload/No Ship (or NUNS). NUNS checks your modem or network
connectivity for any failures and eventually disables shipping if connectivity is not restored.
To perform this check, FSMS verifies (during the first Hourly Upload each day) to ensure that there are no
outstanding revenue files (not active shipping records) on your server that have not been uploaded to
FedEx, and that reconciliation has occurred in the past 24 hours. If either of these checks fails, this failure
counts as one communication failure. Next, FSMS checks again for modem or network connectivity at a
predetermined time (set up in the FSMS Configuration Utility) on the same day. If connectivity is still
disabled, this failure counts as a second communication failure. After six consecutive checks in a 72-
hour period (one at the start of the shipping day and one at the predetermined NUNS set-up time each
day for three days) have confirmed that communication is disabled, the ability to produce shipments is
disabled until you contact FedEx Customer Support. Your FedEx Customer Support Representative can
help you reinstate communication with FedEx and will provide you with a password to continue shipping.
NOTE:
NUNS is automatically activated for customers in the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Off-shore
servers (EMEA, APAC, and LAC) are defaulted to “Off” for NUNS functionality.
NUNS configuration is controlled by the FSMS Configuration Utility. This setting may be changed by
FedEx Customer Support only. For more information regarding this setting, please see “Meter Settings –
Express Options” in Chapter One: Setting Up FSMS.
