SIGNALS – FedEx Ground
Shipping Enhancements
SIGNALS is a collection of FedEx Ground specific business rule
changes that includes the following:
1. Support for the following CA taxes for all intra-CA FedEx Ground
shipments.
These taxes are currently supported for intra-CA FedEx Express
shipments:
• Harmonized Sales Tax
• Quebec Sales Tax
• Goods and Services Sales Tax
The taxes, if applicable, will be returned in the 120, 119, and 125
Reply transactions as part of the Total Surcharges field.
2. Ground EPDI File Handling Modifications:
• FSMS will no longer create Ground Electronic Package Data
Interchange (EPDI) files to upload FedEx Ground package data.
The creation of the EPDI files will be managed by one of the
FedEx mainframe servers. FSMS will now upload a Ground
Hourly Upload file on the same time interval as the Express
Hourly Upload file, every 30-120 minutes.
• The FSMS level EPDI Code is no longer required and will be
removed from the Meter Settings tab of the FSMS
Configuration Utility.
• The existing No Upload/No Ship (NUNS) functionality will now
apply to FedEx Ground shipments. If the NUNS checkbox is
checked and Ground Hourly Update (HU) files have been
created and not uploaded within a 72-hour period, FSMS
shipping will be disabled.
• FedEx Ground account numbers will no longer be editable from
within the Meter Settings tab of the FSMS Configuration Utility.
The FedEx Ground account number is assigned when a new
meter is obtained or when an existing meter is reconfigured via
the Auto Configuration Utility.
• The existing Ground Cycle Count field will no longer apply to the
file extension of the FSMS created EPDI file but will now only
apply to the Pickup Number of the Ground Pickup Manifest.
• The existing Force Close Time checkbox on the Shipper
Settings tab of the FSMS Configuration Utility has been
renamed Express Force Close Time, and a separate checkbox
titled Ground Force Close Time has been added for FedEx
Ground. The default time upon installation is 23:55.
• A new field has been added to the Configuration/Meter Query
Request transaction to allow the Ground Force Close time to be
configured via this transaction.
