          Basically, an ORM is an Order message.  The function of this message is to initiate the transmission of information about an order.  This includes placing new orders, cancellation of existing orders, discontinuation, holding, etc.

          Basically, the ORU is an Unsolicited Observational Report, (aka a result).  

          Hope this helps….
