Troubleshooting

• Ensure the 'NameOrNumber' field is provided as it is required; missing this will cause the request to fail.
• Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has permissions to create item types.
• Check that optional fields like 'UnitId' correspond to valid units available in the system to avoid errors.
• If the API returns errors, inspect the request payload and ensure all data types and required fields conform to the API specifications.
