Create Custom Parent - Child Records Using SuiteTalk

Scenario

Custom Records are unlike Sales Orders when it comes to web services record creation.

User can create a Sales Order record along with the line items in one add operation request. On the other hand in custom records, users would have to first create the parent custom record, then create the child custom records using the addList operation.

1. First create the parent custom record using the add operation. (SuiteAnswers ID: 10724 - add)
