In this Topic: Show

Overview

The View or Void FedEx Shipments function, found on the Shipping & Fulfillment tab of the Maintenance Menu, opens the FedExShipments: Form, where the user can void a shipping label, print a ground manifest, package pickup receipt, or reprint any shipping documents that contain a tracking number.

How far back the program will allow the user to reprint documents is based on the value specified in system parameter ShippingDocumentRetentionDays. The default setting of this parameter is 30 days, but it can be set anywhere between 1 to 60 days.

The default view of this screen is to show shipments processed on the current date, however, it is possible to alter the data that is displayed here by using the fields at the top of the screen (Starting Date, Order Number or Tracking Number).  

Click the Show link next to "In This Topic" at the top of this page to see a series of links in outline form, which can be used to quickly jump to that section of the topic.

In addition, major topics may provide a brief synopsis of a field's purpose or direct the reader to the appropriate section of the topic by scrolling over the image. To return to the previous location within the same page, right-click the mouse and select [Back].

If clicking a field directs the reader to a different Knowledge Base topic, it will open in a new tab or window, leaving the currently viewed topic open. The browser's settings determine whether a new tab or window is opened.
