Feature Description
Revenue Interface Controls
(RIC)
The RIC initiative is FedEx’s response to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act
passed by Congress in 2004, and is designed to tighten various controls
on data transmitted to, received from, and managed by FedEx.
• Express tracking numbers will no longer be stored in the
C:\FedEx\FedEx_Airbill folder but will now be stored in the FSMS
database. A support-level password will be required to manually
change the tracking number range.
• FedEx Ground tracking numbers will no longer be stored in the
Registry but will now be stored in the FSMS database. A support-
level password will be required to manually change the tracking
number range.
• Meter Configuration Impacts – a meter can only be added once the
support-level password has been entered. Upon clicking the Add
button, a popup box will be displayed. Upon entering all information,
FSMS will attempt to retrieve existing meter information from FedEx
mainframe systems. New meters may be requested and configured
by using the FSMS Meter Registration Utility launched from the
desktop. In the event a meter cannot be added automatically, meter
information may be entered manually.
• The first meter entered into the FSMS Configuration Utility is the
Master meter. All subsequent meters are Child meters. To change a
meter designation requires entry of the support-level password.
• Any manual changes to configuration information on the Shipper
Settings tab of the FSMS Configuration Utility will be uploaded to
FedEx and shall overwrite existing data for the meter/account.
• FSMS will verify each configured meter as they are entered by
communicating with FedEx systems. If communications are not
enabled during the configuration process, FSMS will attempt to
verify them when communications are established.
Advanced Regulatory
Information (ARI)
FSMS is asked to support the new Customs regulations in Canada and
the U.S. by capturing additional shipment information and applicable
edits in the Global Ship Request transaction. For more specific
information, see the FSMS TCR Version 7.6.
