®
Server User Guide, Version 7.6
All Bold fields on the Shipper Settings window are required to configure a meter. Below are the field
requirements for all fields:
Field Name Description
Do Not Allow Multiple
Meters per Account Number
Check this box to prevent multiple meters from using the same
9-digit FedEx account number. This will allow a Close Request
transaction using the account number only.
Contact Name* Enter the contact name. This can be a company name.
Company* Enter the company name.
Department* Enter the name of the department shipping from the assigned meter. This
entry will print in the Sender section of the label. The Department field
value can be overridden by using field 38 in the shipping transaction.
Address Line 1* Enter the primary address for your location. This address usually includes
the street name and number.
Address Line 2* Enter any secondary address information, such as Suite #, for your
location.
City* Enter the city name from which shipping will originate.
Country* FSMS defaults to US. To select another country, click on the pull-down
list and highlight the appropriate choice.
If your country is postal aware, this means that a verifiable postal/ZIP
code must be supplied as part of your shipper record. This designation is
supplied by FSMS after you select the country from which you are
shipping.
If shipping from a country that is not postal aware, the postal code you
enter is not validated and any routing information supplied on your
package label is determined from the FedEx location designated for your
country.
State/Province* If you are located in the U.S., Canada, or Puerto Rico, select your state
or province from the pull-down list.
Postal Code* Enter the postal code for your shipping origin location.
Cleaned Postal When you enter your shipper address, including your postal code, FSMS
checks the URSA file to ensure that the postal code is correct and
displays the matched postal code found. If you want to revert to your
original entry, click the Revert button. FSMS will change the postal code
back to your original entry.
Revert FSMS will attempt to provide a cleaned postal code for the entered postal
code. If there is no cleaned postal code, Revert can be used to use the
manually entered postal code.
OriginLocID The FedEx location identification (if your shipper address is postal aware,
which means that your address is supported in the FedEx URSA file) of
your shipping origin location. This information is not entered, but comes
from the URSA file located on your server.
The OriginLocID may be overridden with FedEx assistance.
