Chapter One: Setting Up FSMS

Server User Guide, Version 7.6 69
Handling Charge Level:
In addition to providing the ability to add handling charges via a transaction, FSMS also provides the
ability to set up handling charges within the configuration. Any handling charge provided via a transaction
will override the configured handling charges. The Handling Charge Level section of the Variable
Handling window allows you to select whether you want the handling charge calculated on the package
level or on the shipment level. This setting applies only if you are shipping FedEx Ground or FedEx
International Express packages.
If you select Package and configure a $5.00 handling charge, $5.00 will be applied to each package in a
multiple-piece shipment. Therefore, if you have 10 packages in a single multiple-piece shipment, the total
handling charge is $50.00. If you select Shipment and configure a $5.00 handling charge, the $5.00
handling charge is applied to the entire shipment. Therefore, if you have 10 packages in a single multiple-
piece shipment, the total handling charge, in this scenario, is $5.00.
Handling Charge Amount:
The Handling Charge Amount field allows you to enter either the actual dollar amount (if you selected
Fixed Amount in the Handling Charge Calculation section) or the percent amount if you choose any
Percent option as a Handling Charge Calculation. Field entry requirements are as follows:
• Dollar amounts are entered in the Handling Charge Amount field as XXXXX.XX. For example, a
handling charge of five dollars is entered as 5.00.
• Percent amounts are entered in the Handling Charge Amount field as XXXXX.XX. For example, a
handling charge of ten percent is entered as 10.00.
Managing Your Handling Charge Entries:
The Variable Handling window allows you to enter handling charges for both FedEx Express and FedEx
Ground shipments for each meter number configured on your server. If you have a Master meter and
three Child meters, you may make up to four Express and four Ground Handling Charge configuration
settings by selecting the meter you want to configure from the Master Meter pull-down list at the top of
the Variable Handling window. If you configure the Master meter and want to save that configuration for
all meters on your server, click the Copy to All Meters button at the bottom of the Variable Handling
window.
To save your entries, click OK. The Variable Handling window is dismissed. If you want to exit this
window without saving your configuration entries, click Cancel.
Field Name Description
Percent of Net Charge Click this selection if you want FSMS to calculate a fixed percentage
of the net freight charges (including discounts) to be applied as a
handling fee. For example, if you select this option, you may enter
3.00 (%) to be calculated from the discounted shipping charges for the
package to be assessed as the handling charge for the shipment.
Percent of Net Charge –
Taxes
This feature is available for Canadian customers shipping intra-
Canada packages only. If you choose this option, you may include
Canadian taxes as part of the net charge used to calculate a handling
charge. For example, your shipment price is $100.00 and Canadian
taxes are $5.00. If you configure 5.00 (%) for your handling fee, the
actual handling fee accessed the shipment is $5.25.
