Hi,

     Can we use model.create() of  class sap.ui.model.odata.ODataModel for deep insert operation.

     I have an OData service for PO creation in which the header and item details has to be inserted in a single POST operation.

     Is it possible to use model.create() for this.

     The xml format of POST data is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
