The idempotency key ensures asynchronous execution runs only once per unique key.
Examples
Example 1: Create a new non-inventory sales item named 'Widget A' under subsidiary '1' and location 'WH-1'.
Set itemId to 'Widget A', itemType to 'NonInvtPart', subsidiary to internal ID '1', location to internal ID 'WH-1', and isDebugMode to true if full request/response logging is desired.
