Aptean Ship support for FedEx Canada Origin allows you to ship to and from all Canadian provinces, as well as the U.S., Mexico, and International destinations. When logged into the Canadian Origin account, currency values are shown in Canadian Dollars (CAD). When rating shipments, only Canadian services will be shown.
Login
You must use the Login credentials associated with the Canada Location to access the account used for Canada Origin shipments. When a user logs in with this location, only the Canadian FedEx accounts and services will be available. Note: If you log back into a U.S. location, you will only see the U.S. FedEx accounts.
Setup
To set up the account used with FedEx Canada Origin, select Setup > Carrier Interfaces > FedEx.
On the Accounts tab, select the account and click Edit.
Main
Under the Account Name, you can enter a unique name to identify this account in Aptean Ship. This is the name you’ll see when selecting the account while shipping in the Shipment Editor.
Billing Address
Next, enter the account information (Billing Address). You can type in a new address or select an Address ID you added in Setup > Company.
Shipping Address
On the Shipping Address screen, enter the shipper information. If the Shipping address is the same as the Billing address, check the Same as Billing Address check box.
Settings
These settings are configured by account and accessible when you edit the account on the Accounts page in FedEx Setup.
Account Time Zone
Set the time zone where this account is located in order to allow the account to synchronize with FedEx processing of shipments on their servers. Shipments for the account will be automatically posted at 4 a.m. in the account’s local time based on the time zone selected in this field.

Request FedEx Electronic Trade Documents for applicable shipments
Select the documents that you want FedEx to submit to the government electronically. Request and print the NAFTA Certificate of Origin for the USA and Mexico; for all other locations, request and print the Certificate of Origin. FedEx will return a copy of the documents for printing. Documents that are not checked will not be submitted by FedEx.
FedEx account ETD settings override printer settings if any ETDs are selected and the shipment requires one of these documents. FedEx will not return documents that are not checked so you cannot print them even if they are enabled under Printing Profiles. If one or more documents are checked in FedEx settings, then the FedEx settings take precedence as far as what can be printed (either automatically On Ship or On End of Day, or later from Shipment History).
For example: If you only check the Commercial Invoice in FedEx settings, but both Commercial Invoice and Certificate of Origin documents are enabled under the Printing Profile, only the Commercial Invoice will be available for printing from Aptean Ship.
If you do not want to use ETDs but still want to print and send the documents yourself, do not check any documents here; instead, enable the documents in Manage Documents and check the Auto-Print option for those documents. If you do not check any documents on this dialog, a copy of ETDs you enable in the Printing Profile will be returned for printing and will print when the shipment is processed (if you have Auto-Print: On Ship checked). You can also print these documents later by opening the shipment and printing shipment documents.To only submit electronically and not print the documents, do not enable these documents here.
Mask account numbers for International Air Waybills
You can choose to have account numbers masked on the shipping label for security purposes. Note that the account numbers will print on FedEx Air Waybill copies used by operations and customs clearance. Choices are :
- Do not mask
- mask Transportation/Costs Account
- mask Duties/Taxes Account
- mask both
Select Images
Aptean Ship can submit your company’s header and signature to FedEx to use for ETDs. You can select up to 5 images for each FedEx account, from any images you previously added in Setup > Company.
FedEx Export AgentFile Communication settings
The FedEx Export AgentFile® authorizes FedEx (by email, or through phone or fax) to file an EEI on your behalf. A filing fee and certain limitations apply. Select the communication method and then provide the contact information.
Dimensional Weight
For each FedEx service, you can enter custom dimensional weight divisors that are used to calculate the billed weight. When billed weight is not returned by FedEx rating, the dimensional weight factors below will be used to calculate it. The factors default to list (published) values, but can be modified here to reflect contract rates. This will not affect the charges, only the billed weight that shows on-screen. So, for example, If you have any freight rules that use the billed weight field, it will be updated so that freight rules work correctly.
Use the Revert to Defaults button to reset values to the original defaults.
