The following is an example of creating an Item where we are setting every possible field (See [Item](docId\:uwAJNF0ExXeYGtmSe4uVE) for the available fields). The response will return the exact request data plus the new NetSuite item Id (internalId) and the newly created Salesforce item Id (salesforceID).

Pass skipDML as true in the request to skip the DML operation in Salesforce.
