+=item request_item [ OPTIONS ]
+
+Returns a L<Business::BatchPayment::Item> object for this batch payment
+entry. This can be submitted to a processor.
+
+OPTIONS can be a list of key/values to append to the attributes. The most
+useful case of this is "process_date" to set a processing date based on the
+date the batch is being submitted.
