Integrating Your FedEx Account with NetSuite: A Step-by-Step Guide for MFA Re-registration

In NetSuite 2026.1, managing your FedEx shipping account has become more secure but also requires an additional step for existing users. To maintain smooth operations, all existing FedEx accounts must be re-registered using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This guide provides a detailed walkthrough to ensure you can generate shipping labels without interruption.

Why Re-register Your FedEx Account?

With the introduction of MFA, the security measures for accessing your FedEx account in NetSuite have tightened. This update protects sensitive shipping information and ensures that only authorized users can access and use FedEx services within the platform.

Steps to Re-register Your FedEx Account

To successfully re-register your existing FedEx account, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the FedEx Registration Page
   Go to Setup > Accounting within your NetSuite dashboard. Look for the section labeled Authorize your FedEx Account.

2. Choose Your Authorization Method
   Select one of the following methods for MFA verification:

   • SMS
   • Phone Call
   • Email
   • Invoice Details
   • FedEx Customer Support
     Depending on your selection, the method will deliver a verification PIN to you.

3. Enter the PIN
   Once you receive the PIN, navigate back to the FedEx Registration page in NetSuite. Enter the code to complete your account authorization.

4. Confirm Re-registration
   Ensure that the confirmation message appears on your screen, indicating that your FedEx account has been successfully re-registered.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

While following the steps for re-registration, you may encounter some pitfalls. Here are some common issues and how to address them:

• Failed Shipping Label Creation: This can happen if your FedEx account isn't re-registered properly. Always verify that you see the confirmation message.
• PIN Delivery Delays: If you don't receive your PIN promptly, check your spam/junk folders or consider using an alternative authorization method for quicker access.
• Customer Support Access: If you face persistent issues, reach out to FedEx Customer Support for further assistance. They can help troubleshoot account-specific problems.

Best Practices for Using FedEx with NetSuite

• Regularly Update Your Credentials: Ensure that your FedEx account credentials are always current to avoid access issues in the future.
• Monitor Shipping Processes: After re-registration, keep an eye on your shipping processes and ensure that all labels are generated as expected.
• Educate Team Members: If multiple team members access the FedEx account, inform them about the re-registration process and any new protocol established due to MFA.
