Can you elobarate some more info what you are trying to accomplish? And EDI 850 (Idata values) will be created once you do mapping (ex:xml to EDI ie some Source document(xml,idoc,cannonical) to Target (in your case EDI). HTH. ---

You’ll want to thoroughly review the Developer’s Guide, the EDI Module: Core Component, and EDI Module: TN Component guides. ---
