To create a Customer Payment in NetSuite, use action as "createCustomerPayment" and pass the Customer Payment data in the requestJSON under "customerPayments".

:::hint{type="info"}
Note: You can only create one record at a time.
:::

The following is an example of creating a Customer Payment where we are setting every possible field (See[](https://app.archbee.io/docs/-LIHUUnv_7XNQrtzHsKkC/hnjmkN99QxWdEafyYIFSq) [Customer Payment](docId\:L_S8oFAL1497WkaPqKUlH)  the available fields).  The response will return the response back from NetSuite, which includes the NetSuite Customer Payment Id (internalId), plus the newly created Salesforce Customer Payment Id (salesforceID)
