See the Dropship API documentation for EDI 850 generation and shipment translation

Message	Type	Direction	Purpose
850	Purchase Order	Operator to Vendor	Communicates a new purchase order (a customer order routed to the vendor).
855	Purchase Order Acknowledgement	Vendor to Operator	Confirms receipt of the purchase order and signals the vendor’s intent to fulfill.
856	Advance Shipping Notice (ASN)	Vendor to Operator	Notifies the operator that the shipment has been packed and is ready to ship, including tracking and packaging information.
846	Inventory Inquiry / Advice	Vendor to Operator	Communicates current inventory levels at the vendor’s location(s) so the operator’s order routing engine has up-to-date availability
810	Invoice	Vendor to Operator	Communicates the vendor’s bill for the items shipped. Creates a Payment Invoice record in Kibo for reconciliation against the shipment. Does not complete the shipment or advance the fulfillment workflow.

Specific message field mappings, scheduling, and Orderful trading-partner configuration are handled outside this guide as part of the EDI integration setup with Orderful and Kibo Support.
