I would think that the generic 810 EDI document would be the correct starting 
point. I seem to remember an order type of "Release".

Your customer, do they belong to a trade association? If so, there may be a 
comittee or some group that moderates or endorses some sort of standard in that 
industry.

In order to maintain usefulness beyond the limited scope of this project, I'd 
also recommed AS2 as the transmission means. Eventually someone's going to need 
to trade with Walmart/Lowes/Bob's_Bait_&_Tackle, and it'll pay to have used 
standards that'll allow all your work to be leveraged. There are open source 
implimentations, so you can keep the cost reasonable.
