Bookkeeping categories
What category is FedEx in bookkeeping?
FedEx is usually categorized as Shipping, Fulfillment & Postage. Even Margin applies that category automatically when the charge arrives.
What FedEx charges are
FedEx charges are shipping: labels and packages billed to a FedEx account. FedEx Office is its store, which prints as well as ships.
How Even Margin categorizes FedEx
Shipping, Fulfillment & Postage. Applied automatically, at high confidence.
- Even Margin recognizes FedEx on your bank transaction, using the merchant list its team curates.
- It categorizes the charge as Shipping, Fulfillment & Postage with high confidence, so it is applied without asking you.
- Change it whenever you like, and Even Margin keeps your choice.
When a different category fits
Whatever you choose, a rule keeps every FedEx charge in the same place, including the ones already in your books.
- A print job at FedEx Office is printing, so it belongs with what you printed: Advertising & Promotion for flyers and signs, or Office Supplies & Equipment.
- FedEx labels bought through a label service such as Shippo or Pirate Ship are the same category, billed by that service instead of FedEx.
Is a FedEx Office charge shipping?
Not always, so Even Margin decides charge by charge. Your bank's category for each FedEx Office charge leads, so a print job can land in Office Supplies & Equipment. When the bank gives none, it suggests Shipping, Fulfillment & Postage at low confidence for your review list.
Can I see shipping by carrier?
Yes. Filter Transactions by merchant to see FedEx alone, or open Shipping, Fulfillment & Postage in your reports to see every carrier together.
