After successfully following the steps detailed in the following articles related to SOAP Web Services Integration:

1. Enabling SOAP Integration, as explained in the article New To NetSuite | Pre-requisites to Setup SOAP and REST Web Services;
2. Creating a SOAP Integration by following the instructions in the articles New to NetSuite | How to Create Integration Records and New to NetSuite | How to Create Access Tokens: For Administrators;
3. Including the header tag in SOAP Web Services by referring to the article New To NetSuite | How to create a header using TBA in SOAP Web Services?

You are now ready to interact with records within NetSuite. One of the key operations available in SOAP Web Services is "add" operation which is typically used to create a new record or entity within the NetSuite system.

When you perform an "add" operation in NetSuite's SOAP web services, you are essentially creating a new data entry in one of the supported record types. This could be a new customer, vendor, sales order, purchase order, item record, or any other entity that NetSuite supports. The specific details and parameters required for the "add" operation will depend on the type of record you're creating.

Here’s the sample SOAP Request in adding a customer record.

Note:

• Use listRel:Customer type to add customer records. It defines the criteria and filters that you can use to search for specific customer records.
• You have the option to add extra fields in the "Add" request to incorporate additional information into the customer record. See this article to check all the field ID used in SOAP Web Services, New to NetSuite | Navigation in SOAP Web Services Schema Browser
