To create an RMA in NetSuite, use action as "createReturnAuthorization" and pass the RMA data in the requestJSON under "returnAuthorizations".

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

The following is an example of creating Return Authorization where we are setting every possible field (See [Return Authorization](docId\:TvP5sq2fB4IS2tIIg2Aqk) for the available fields). The response will return the response back from NetSuite, which includes the new NetSuite Return Authorization Id (internalId), plus the newly created Salesforce Return Authorization Id (salesforceID)
