What are the limitations of the SOAP API?

&gt;*AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):*
The SOAP API in NetSuite has several limitations:

1. *Concurrency Limitations*: The SOAP API has limitations on the number of concurrent connections or threads. If a large number of web services are needed, additional purchases like SuiteCloud+ may be required.

2. *Limited Access to Certain Records*: Not all NetSuite records are accessible via the SOAP API. For example, creating invoices and billing profiles may not be supported in the SOAP API and may only be accessible via the REST API. You can refer to the NetSuite documentation for a list of supported records.

3. *Limitations on Saved Searches*: There may be limitations on the number of saved searches that can be returned via the "getSavedSearch" function in the SOAP API.
