BV Commerce 5.8 FedEx Patch

---

May 2012

---

This patch updates BV Commerce 5.8 to support the latest FedEx web services. The older services will cease to function on May 31st, 2012.

We are providing this patch as an in-place upgrade option. It replaces the existing FedEx module but does not overwrite any other part of the software and should let your store continue to function (even if you've customized it.)

Installation Instructions
============================
1) Copy the 3 files from the "To Bin Folder" folder to the /bin folder of your web site
2) Copy the 2 files from the "To BVModules-Shipping-Fedex Folder" folder to /BVModules/Shipping/Fedex folder of your web site
3) Go to Options->Shipping and either create a new FedEx shipping method or edit and existing one
4) Follow the link under Global Settings to register for a new FedEx Key and Password and Meter Number
5) Enter the Key, Password, Account and Meter Numbers in the global settings and save your changes.

NOTE: Updated Jun 21, 2012 with correction for Ground Home Delivery Residential Issue

Marcus -

Is there any way to get a version of this update that will work for 5.7? Our client has a very customized store and upgrading to 5.8 isn't an option at this time. When I try and use the provided patch built for 5.8 I receive an error due to the version mismatch:

BC32206: The project currently contains references to more than one version of BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core, a direct reference to version 5.7.3.0 and an indirect reference (through 'BVSoftware.BVC5.Shipping.FedEx.FedExProvider') to version 5.8.0.1015. Change the direct reference to use version 5.8.0.1015 (or higher) of BVSoftware.Bvc5.Core.

Thanks,
Greg

Yes, we definitely need the project source for these changes. Many are in the same boat unable to update to 5.8

Hey Marcus -

I don't think the file attached properly; can you verify?

Thanks,
Greg

Thanks!

Has anyone got this patch to work yet? I have followed the instructions, updating the files in the /Bin and the /BVModules/Shipping/Fedex folder. I have obtained the new meter number, authentication key, and password. However, when trying to calculate rates on the site, only UPS and USPS appear.
I have contacted FedEx and they say that everything is setup properly on their end and that my key is communicating with FedEx. They told me it must be on the application level..

Are there any additional steps that need to be taken? What am I missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the quick reply.

When I turn on Diagnostics Mode and view the audit log, I see:
FEDEX-DEBUG key,password,account number,meter number (except it shows the actual numbers)

Any ideas what's going on?

It worked for us without deleting/recreating the methods. One problem we did run into is that FedEx Home Delivery does not work, though I suspect this is something on FedEx's end.

Also, as mentioned above, the diagnostics mode does not give any useful information in the log. Is there a workaround or way to fix that?

Just downloaded and applied the July 9th patch, and now I'm getting this error from the API:

FEDEX ERROR | Destination Postal-State Mismatch.

I should note that I used the source-code version and compiled it, so is it possible that the posted source code doesn't match the compiled assembly?
