Once the shipment number is entered, the package can be placed on the scale and the weight
recorded. If it is a shipment requiring more than 1 package and the package information in X3 is
being driven from Fedex, the number of packages can be specified.

The FedEx interface to X3 is set up to create the tracking and packaging information at the time
of shipping rather than at the time of close. In this case, the information is immediately written to
the Fedex to X3 interface table.
