Enhancements
🟪 Enhancement: Accurate Rate Visibility for Account and List Rates
Pacejet now explicitly requests both Account (discounted) and List (published) rates from the FedEx Comprehensive Rates API on every transaction. The preferredCurrency field is sent only when explicitly configured, eliminating unnecessary complexity for customers operating across multiple currencies. (PJ-772)
🟪 Enhancement: FedEx International Priority Service Class Standardization
Duplicate and redundant FedEx International Priority service class definitions have been consolidated within the connector. Customers no longer need to manually manage overlapping service class entries, and existing configurations are preserved with full backward compatibility. (PJ-788)
🟪 Enhancement: Configurable FedEx Parcel Email Notifications
All five FedEx parcel email notification events can now be configured system-wide through Carrier Settings: ON_SHIPMENT, ON_EXCEPTION, ON_DELIVERY, ON_TENDER, and ON_ESTIMATED_DELIVERY. When Carrier Settings notifications are defined, they supplement selections on the Rate and Ship screen, giving administrators centralized control over notification behavior across all shipments. (PJ-810)
🟪 Enhancement: FedEx Rate Display Option at Customer and Facility Level
A new FedExRateDisplayOption carrier setting is available at the customer level with optional facility-level overrides. Administrators can select LOWER_RATE to return only the lowest rate per service or SELECTED_RATES_EXCLUDING_F1R to return all account and list rates excluding OneRate, giving precise control over how FedEx rates are displayed and how OneRate pricing is handled. (PJ-822)
Bug Fixes
🟩 Resolved Issue: Fixed an issue where Pacejet defaulted Customs Value to $100 when the Commodity/International section was left blank, causing FedEx to reject shipments and fail to generate labels. Customs Value is now sent only when explicitly provided. (PJ-824)
