ORDERS05 is new version, however SAP keeps the older verisons for the reason of compatibility

Hi,

ORDERS05

has probably more fields then ORDERS02

the one with higher number is newer

you can find the difference in WE60 by comparing the

fields

and because ORDERS05 is the newer one, you will find it not in all R/3 releases!

So e.g. R/3 3.0 is not working with it possibly!

you can find many details about IDOCs in:

Hi

The difference is only that ORDERS02 contains more segments. If you want additional data then, ORDERS02 is used.
