The following is an example of creating a Child Custom Object Record where we are setting every possible field (See [](https://app.archbee.io/docs/-LIHUUnv_7XNQrtzHsKkC/hnjmkN99QxWdEafyYIFSq)[](https://app.archbee.io/docs/-LIHUUnv_7XNQrtzHsKkC/EmQjIKnClZE-b-zi9PinN)[Custom Object](docId\:fGPsbggFpzat8WQLDCqU1)  for the available fields). The response will return the exact request data plus the new NetSuite Child Custom Object Id (internalId) and the newly created Salesforce Child Custom Object Id (salesforceID).

:::hint{type="info"}
Here, the Internal Id of the Parent Custom Object Record has to be passed in. Only then will this record be treated as a Child Custom Object Record.
