We use Manhattan WM Software for Distribution. Basically we get a blockof

Fedex with all the shipping information of cartons that went out that
I would call Fedex and ask if you could set up something similar. Alsowe
print the UCC-128 barcode that identifies what is in the box to oursystem
right on the same label. We still have to print two labels sometimes asworked
some large companies require their own label format, but if you are
shipping to individuals or small companies you only need the one label.
Not sure where you are located, we are in NJ, but here is our contact at
Fedex, maybe he can help you.

We are looking for ways to more efficiently create and print fedexshipping
labels. Are there web services or other software from fedex that I
touse?
Or 3rd party software that will do the specific functions I need it

We currently use fedex ship manager with an ODBC connection to the
iODBC
torecord
semi automate the process.
I need a more granular way to interface with FEDEX. One step would
stepthe weight of the shipper carton and create a tracking number. Next
iswould print a single FEDEX label. The third would create the master
tracking number and close the shipment as far as FEDEX is concerned.
What the warehouse does is pack items into shipper cartons. Each item
located.picked from a picklist. Once the shipper is full it is closed and ashipper
label is printed. That shipper label has what we call an SSCC barcodeback
printed on it. That SSCC number is unique so it can always be tracked
to the order.
Once the order is completely picked all the shippers are taken to the
shipping station where the FedEx shipping manager workstation is
We scan the SSCC barcode of one of the shipper cartons. Using the
containingare 4connection to the IBM i all of the ship manager entry fields arepopulated.
It is at this point that the process starts to break down. If there
isshipper cartons the user enters that value in fedex ship manager,completes
the shipment and 4 fedex labels are printed. A master tracking number
created along with 4 individual tracking numbers. Thru the ODBC
connection ship manager writes 4 records to a table on the i
numberthe
master tracking number, the tracking number and the SSCC carton
mailingthattracking
was scanned to populate the FEDEX fields to begin with.file
The problem is those 4 tracking records written to my tracking number
all contain the same SSCC carton number. So I can link a fedex
twonumber to a warehouse purchase order. But I cannot link it to thespecific
items in the shipper of that tracking number. And secondly there are
FEDEXlabels on the shipper carton where all we really need is the single
shipping label.
thanks,
