Carrier workflows
FedEx Integration for LollipopWMS
Generate compliant FedEx labels, control surcharges, and keep tracking data current without tab-hopping.
Capabilities
- Rate shop FedEx Express, Ground, and international services with account rules applied.
- Configure default dimensions, insurance, and signature settings by client or channel.
- Push labels, tracking numbers, and hazmat references straight into order history.
Use alongside the pack & ship workflow to streamline bench activity.
Services & surcharges
Flag accessorials such as residential delivery, oversized shipments, and Saturday service before labels print, so invoices match expectations.
Supervisors can review pending surcharges in the dashboard and rebalance orders before pickup cutoffs.
Label & return labels
Print outbound and authorized return labels in thermal or PDF formats. Auto-generate return labels for subscription or warranty workflows when needed.
Reference FedEx label guides for printer-specific tips and document requirements.
Troubleshooting
- Review carrier error codes in the activity log to address invalid account or meter numbers.
- Enable fallback services when negotiated rates are temporarily unavailable.
- Switch to manual pickup requests if automatic scheduling fails, then re-sync once resolved.
FAQs
Can we support multiple FedEx accounts?
Yes. Map each account to a warehouse or client profile and choose the default during pack-out.
How are dimensional weights handled?
LollipopWMS calculates billable weight using your stored dimensions and applies FedEx dim rules automatically.
Do return labels expire?
Return labels inherit standard FedEx expirations. You can trigger reminders before a label lapses.
