This will be the KILLER.

Here is where you really need to work with your own people and the customer.... 
if customer wants turnaround data, he needs to give 
you something to turn around, which means he "must" place his orders via EDI - 
or as 'must' as is possible in your particular 
customer relationship.

If 'must' does not work out with the customer, then it MUST (no exemptions 
permitted here!)  be a rule for your "order entry" 
personnel that when this customer orders by non-EDI means, they must ask the 
customer for all the turnaround data and then someone 
MUST  enter it somewhere you can get at it when mapping the outbound EDI 
documents.

If you have to go the route of "our order entry people must obtain and enter 
the required turnaround data" I STRONGLY recommend your 
outbound mapping process start with an edit for "is all my required turnaround 
data available for this {855|810|856}?"
