Create a new TimesheetSubmission.

This endpoint returns structured Timesheet Submission objects.
As with all Kantata OX API endpoints, the returned data will be referenced in sorted order in the `results` array
and will be indexed by ID in the `timesheet_submissions` top-level JSON key.
Please see our [Response Format](#section/Response-Format) section for more information.
