Hello Darrin,
It is YES for the 1st fm. You need to use structure DATA_GENERAL for the export details of equipment . It is a simple fm to be used. but the later one is a bit difficult one. You will find several CREATE examples for this fm on net. Search through google with string 'Create Order through BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'. You will certainly be tired for sometime with this fm, but I'm sure you'll come out. The key structures are the 1st two IT_METHODS and IT_HEADER, You take clues from net about these two. The rest of the tables are self explanatory, i.e., wherever you want to give the information. Also you may have to to use fm BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after this fm.
My suggestion is you should conquer this fm (BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN) for CREATE, CHANGE applicationsirrespective of the present requirement.
Regards & Good luck
