[C#]
public string Create(
  CUserAuth  Caller,
  string  SalesOrderXml
);
[C++]
public: String* Create(
  CUserAuth*  Caller,
  String*  SalesOrderXml
);

Parameters

Caller

Specifies the identity of the caller. To perform this action, the caller must have the prvCreateOrder privilege. See CUserAuth.
