New Item request is a process, which allows customers to orchestrate the
definition and approval of new products within their enterprise.
When creating a new item, various aspects of an item like attributes, structures,
attachments, relationships etc., could be authored by one or more domain experts
in the organization. The orchestration is defined via metadata setups which drive
a generic composite (Human Workflow, AMX & OBR).
