FedEx Integration: Special Character Handling; Double Quote Marks Not Allowed

Symptom

PART: Manifest 5.1.1 SP1 DCS

Cause

Resolving The Problem

The following are the special characters not supported by Fedex :
a) embedded quotes
b) single quote / apostrophes
c) Double quotes ( as the transaction record has field values enclosed in double quotation marks )

Note : The accent key (located on the key with the tilde) can be used as a substitute for words that require an apostrophe.

Thus, some cartons with data containing them have to be shipped via a standalone FedEx machine; and users need to record tracking numbers manually.

Note: Scanning this data into the system is not permitted after the status is SHIPPED.
