Hey Arun,
Thanks for your wonderful reply that captures all the customization stuff needed and also matches my plan that I had in mah mind go ahead with. It'll certainly need customizations to match-up with the ideal implementation, But all that made me post was the cause due which despite providing the same input in both the systems caused the rates to vary. For e.g. : 2 packages, total weight 59lbs. , from 45005 to 55303 for FedEx Ground fetches $31 in OFBiz and shows $41.95 in FedEx site, that's a huge difference.

List rate means direct rates based on weight and dimensions of items and Account rates which based on discount provided on account. You can verify it from value of filed 'RateRequestTypes' in your rate request. You need some customization around it to get dimensions of package and products. You can assign defaultShipmentBoxTypeId to each product and get dimension of shipmentBox from there otherwise you can use product dimensions if exists. If you don't want to provide dimensions and shipment packages for each product then use default dimensions of default package along with total shippable weight.
