ANSI X.12 850 is a purchase order, and ANSI X.12 855 is the corresponding acknowledgement. Both are usually described in SAP as on ORDERS01 (ORDES02, ORDERS03) IDoc type.

See more in http://ifr.sap.com/index.html. (See: logistics->material management->SD (sic!) -> sales -> EDI). 850 will be a message type of ORDERS, the confirmation 855 is returned as ORDRSP.
