025762 Modifications to FedEx Webservice v28 to add signature options

KCSL have enhanced the FedEx Webservice v28 integration to allow the customers to define the signature option for each courier entry.

 

Changes will be made to the FedEx Webservice v28 integration to allow the customers to define the signature option for each courier entry.

This will be added as a new free text field in the courier config.

For systems / couriers where this IS NOT defined it will default to the current behaviour and will NOT be populated in the call.

For systems / couriers where this IS defined we will amend the XML declaration to include the below:

 

<SpecialServicesRequested>

<SpecialServiceTypes>SIGNATURE_OPTION</SpecialServiceTypes>

<SignatureOptionDetail>

<OptionType>OPTION_VALUE</OptionType>

</SignatureOptionDetail>

</SpecialServicesRequested>.

 

An updated application and changelog will be provided with this functionality.

After applying the above Configuration, typical steps for usage would include:

 

 

When an order is assigned to a
FedEx Webservice v28 type courier it will include the following section within the exported file. (Unless the option is blank).

 

 

<SpecialServicesRequested>

<SpecialServiceTypes>SIGNATURE_OPTION</SpecialServiceTypes>

<SignatureOptionDetail>

<OptionType>NO_SIGNATURE_REQUIRED</OptionType>

</SignatureOptionDetail>

</SpecialServicesRequested>

 

 

 

Where the <OptionType> comes from the new courier option.
