Summary

Cyrious Control integrates with FedEx Ship Manager so that shipping address information may be automatically retrieved and tracking and cost information can be fed back into Control during the closeout process.


Before starting this setup, please verify that the customer has the shipping tab module. If they do not have the shipping module they must purchase this first and you can direct the customer to sales@cyrious.com for pricing .

You may sometimes come across a FedEx Ship Manager installation in which the version number at the top ends in the letter 'i'. The 'i' indicates that they use the FedEx Integration Module, and a FedEx integration specialist will be needed to map the fields correctly. There is currently no workaround.

  1. Update Control and the SSLIP to 04.60.1203.0302 (Release from 3/3/2012) or later.
  2. Start the SSLIP and log into Control to ensure that the database is up-to-date.

NOTE: If you do not upgrade to the version above or newer this article will not work.

  5. Password will be autoshipper.
  6. Uncheck “Enforce Password Policy”.
  7. Select “Server Roles” on left hand list.
  8. Select ALL checkboxes on right side.

  20. NOTE: If you are using Windows x64 edition then the ODBC connection you created will likely not appear in FedEx. This is because FedEx ShipManager uses a 32-bit ODBC connection and by default when you create an ODBC connection in 64-bit windows it is only available to 64-bit applications. If you encounter this problem you need to create a 32-bit ODBC connection by going to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.EXE. Create your connection under this ODBC configuration utility and then it will be available for use within FedEx.
  1. In Windows, go to one of the following folders. Depending on the version of Windows, one of these will exists:
    • C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\FedEx\Integration\Profiles\
    • C:\ProgramData\FedEx\Integration\Profiles\
  2. Drop this file (cyriousprofile.xml) into the folder.
  3. In FedEx Ship Manager, go to the Integration menu and select CyriousProfile.

Typically whenever a Profile is setup in FedEx, it will automatically load the profile whenever FedEx Ship Manager starts and you will see the input box which allows you to type in the Order Number you wish to ship.

  1. Type the Order Number into the Lookup Value box and click OK.
  2. Process shipment in FedEx like a normal package.
  3. Once the package is Shipped, open Control and look into the UDF's of that Order for shipping information for that package.
