Skipping required fields

Question

Anybody has any ideas if there is a way to skip required fields while using external api?
And one other question as well: so I have 900K customers and now I want to add orders of them to sale.order model. But the field which is connecting both is one2many. Which is big problem. Any ideas how I can handle it? Any ways to fill one2many field with values rather than id's or so?
