Seeburger message mapping

Question

Guys,
    I  have to map A_850_V4010 to IDOC ORDERS05. I was trying to leverage the the message mapping Seeburger delivers as part of
the B2BContent-A_850_V4010_to_I_ORDERS_05
This is what I did ,
a) I have imported the ORDERS05  idoc definition fromECC system into my name space. 
b) I also imported the 850_v4010 from Seeburger Message catalogue  by importing XML_850_V4010.xsd.
Now, when I try to copy the A_850_V4010_to_I_ORDERS_05 that into my namepsace, the XI  asks whether I want to import the Source Message LIST from http://seeburger.com/b2b  as well as ORDERS05  from http://seeburger.com/b2b .
My questions are
1)How is the external defintion done ? Is it like step a) and b) described above?  or, does Seeburger provide the XSD for ORDERS05 idoc? 
2)  how do I make sure that  ORDERS05 that I got from my  ECC system is  the same structure as that of ORDERS05 in
Seeburger?   besides going through individual fields . Ideally, I would like to use the ORDERS05 I imported in step a) as the traget message.  With  message maaping copy it seems step a) and b) is  not  relevant.
3) I  also need to map SHPMNT05 idoc to A_856_V4010. Since Seeburger doesn't have it in the mapping list ( the  one they have is DELVRY03_To_A_856_V4010) , the mapping will be the same as the DELVRY03_To_A_856_V4010  EXCEPT that I need to get
TKNUM  from the SHPMNT05 header. I am wondering whether Manually creating the mapping is the only way, or  is there anyway I can leverage the DELVRY03_To_A_856_V4010 mapping? Has anyone had the experience where they had to change the source Idoc but, still been able to leverage the existing mapping . I just need to change the mapping from E1EDL20 - VBELNin Delvry03  to E1EDT20-TKNUM in SHPMNT05 idoc - this will be mapped to  D_396 in S_BSN segment.
Thanks !!

Hey
>>1)How is the external defintion done ? Is it like step a) and b) described above? or, does Seeburger provide the XSD for ORDERS05 idoc?
Seeburger provides XSD's for all the major EDI structures,but somehow when i was trying to import the XSD'd and Message mapping into my own SWCV,i was getting the same issue as you have so i ended up copying them manually.it works fine after that.
>>I am wondering whether Manually creating the mapping is the only way, or is there anyway
DELVRY03 IDOC is different from SHPMT05 IDOC,even i had to use SHPMNT05 IDOC message mapping and since it didn't come with seeburger,i designed my own message mapping manually.
>>experience where they had to change the source Idoc but, still been able to leverage the existing mapping
I tried this,it doesn't works properly,gives you issues at the time of activating the mapping.
My advice would be to go ahead and do all the steps manually,i had put in lots of effort and time but ended up doing major parts of mappings manually,the mapping you get from SeeBurger is just the base/generic mapping and is a lot different from the actual mapping required for Business partners.
Thanx
