Shipment Level vs. Package Level
In the FSMS TCR, you will find fields that are marked with either an S or a P, which indicates that this
field is either a shipment level or package level field.
Shipment level means that if the field is used as part of an MPS shipment, the field affects all of the
packages in the shipment, and it isn’t necessary to repeat the field for each package in a single
transaction MPS shipment or to place the field in each Add transaction of an Open Shipment.
Package level means that if the field is used as part of an MPS shipment, the field’s value is specific to a
particular package, and the value must be repeated for subsequent packages in a single transaction MPS
shipment or included in each Add transaction of an Open Shipment.
Field indicators:
• E = Express
• G = Ground
• Required indicates a mandatory field
• Required* indicates a ‘required if’ condition
• A superscript S indicates the field is to be used at the shipment level for a single transaction MPS or
to be included in an Open Ship Create transaction.
• A superscript P indicates the field is to be used at the package level for a single transaction MPS or to
be included in an Open Ship Create for the first piece and in an Add for subsequent pieces.
