Hi ,
You can send the purchase order to the vendors using different outytpes configurations in NACE transaction .
If you define a particular output type where you need to give medium 6 and define partner functions within this you can also set condition which partner needs to recieve EDI output and which one FAX or email all this will be done by Functional expert.
For adding extra segments to your basic type ORDERS05  you need to extend the idoc you can do it via WE30 and WE31 .Link you message type to basic type and extension . Please follow below tcodes for further help . Create all the requested steps in the tcodes mentioned below.
we20:patner profile
we21:port
we30:idoc creation
we30:segment creation
we81:message type
we82:link message with idoc type.
we02:to status of idocs.
Now you need to write code for filling those extra segments you have added to you extension type. For that you need to check where your new segment is placed in Idoc structure . There will be a exit avaliable to attach your code to fill those segments .
Please go through previous SDN links to see more info.
One the settings are done in the NACE , issue output from PO transction and once your output is processed check your Idoc in WE02 to see if the segments are coming with the desired data.
