Drop ship orders look like any other 850 until you read BEG02 and the ship-to. The address is a person's home, so there is no store or DC code, and the retailer expects your packing slip to show their brand and their customer order number, not yours.
Most drop ship programs also want an 856 or a carrier tracking number within hours of shipping, and an 810 per order. Treat each 850 as one parcel.
For every segment the standard allows and how retailers use them, read the EDI 850 guide. To check a file of your own, paste it into the EDI Inspector, or browse all 22 EDI sample files.
