I would say it has a lot to do with how your system is setup (or your
trading partner's for that matter). Some always look at an 850 as a new
order and if any changes are to be made an 860 is required. Some partners
just require a new 850 with the change code. It all depends on preference
and what your application can handle.

Subject: 850 vs 860
I'm looking at the 850 and the 860, trying to figure out why there's an 860
in the first place. The 860 seems to have just about the same fields that
the 850 has. Since there's only 999 document numbers available, why did
they define the 860 instead of adding some semantics to the 850? After all,
there is a Transaction Set Purpose Code of 04-Change, which is valid for the
850.
I assume that I'm missing something. Can anyone explain?
Thanks.
