To create a Credit Memo in NetSuite, use action as "createCreditMemo" and pass the Credit Memo data in the requestJSON under "CreditMemos".

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

The following is an example of creating a Credit Memo where we are setting every possible field (See [Credit Memo](docId\:rOGVPWAviJlOdMLuJjwd5) for the available fields). The response will return the response back from NetSuite, which includes Credit Memo Id (internalId), plus the newly created Salesforce Credit Memo Id (salesforceID)
