Create a customer

  • Article

The following XML example uses an eConnect XML document to create a customer. Note the following characteristics of the document:

  • The document contains a single <RMCustomerMasterType> transaction type schema. The schema specifies the XML nodes you use to create a customer.
  • You use the <taUpdateCreateCustomerRcd> node to describe the customer record.
  • Notice how the elements of the <taUpdateCreateCustomerRcd> node are populated with values that identify the new customer.
