Search / Download | Downloading Files
You can create download files by using New
Search, Download or Saved Searches. You will
have the option to either download the screen
results using a standard template or create a
customized download file using a customized
template.
To download a file from the Download Center,
right click on the file name then select the Save
option presented to you by your browser.
The shipment download process can be made
more efficient with Automatic Downloads. To
enroll, click the Yes button and select a download
template and file type. Download files will
automatically be created as soon as the charges
are available on FedEx Billing Online. Note: FedEx
SmartPost download files will be automatically
created using the Package Detail Template.
Using file extensions .csv or .txt for
FedEx SmartPost downloads will automatically
truncate tracking numbers in Microsoft Excel
®
.
Follow these directions to avoid such truncation:
• Save the download file to your Desktop or
My Documents folder
• Open Microsoft Excel
• Select the Data tab
• Select From Text in the Get External Data group
• Both .csv and .txt are considered text file
formats
• Open the download file you have saved (text
wizard will come up automatically)
• Make sure “text” is selected for the column
containing the package ID number when you
get to the third step in the wizard.
Microsoft Access
®
does not truncate SmartPost
tracking numbers.
