QBDE 22.0 R4P R_66 Shipping Manager FedEx International Error Message "Unknown Service Type"

Good Day,

 

Trying to ship internationally via FedEx using Shipping Manager in Quickbooks Enterprise 22.00.  When doing so we are getting an error "Unkown Service Type" when trying to create the label, ...and this is no matter the service we choose.  I never had an issue with this until upgrading from QBDE 21 to QBDE 22.

 

For whatever its worth, for the past year or two, whenever creating an international label with UPS you have to reboot to create your next label that is domestic, otherwise ship manager give you an error about NAFTA info missing for your domestic shipment...obvious glitch.  ....work around being restarting quickbooks.

 

Tried resetting Ship Manager and renaming the DB folder located at: (User\AppData\Roaming\Intuit\ShipManager).

Tried Repairing QB Install

Tried Uninstall and Reinstalling QB.

 

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time

Chris

The first link / phone number has nothing to do with my inquiry, it for setting up an alliance account for better pricing.... The second link listed is broken.  Thank you for your attempt at helping me, I will keep digging and see what I can figure out on my own.

The problem is in the script, which I can not modify on my end because it is stored on the quickbooks side.

 

Quick Books Ship manager is calling for:

<ServiceType>FEDEX_INTERNATIONAL_PRIORITY_EXPRESS</ServiceType>

 

were as FedEx identifies this service as:

<ServiceType>INTERNATIONAL_PRIORITY</ServiceType>

and so on for the rest of the services.

 

The work around I found was to use the F2 function (bottom center of the shipping manager window) and checking one service at a time, this approach uses the correct identifier so FedEx can return a result.
