AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
In NetSuite, you can create a relationship between a customer and a vendor using SuiteScript. Here are a few methods you can use: 1. EntityDeduplicationTask: This is a relatively safe approach where you create a vendor and merge it with the customer. This is done using an EntityDeduplicationTask. Here is a link to the NetSuite help center for more information on this: https://system.netsuite.com/app/help/helpcenter.nl?fid=section_4345799008.html 2. Record Transformation: This is a more unsupported method where you transform a customer record into a vendor record. Here is a sample code snippet:
Copy code
javascript
record.transform({fromType: 'customer', fromId: '3864', toType: 'vendor'})
Please note that this method is not officially supported by NetSuite and may lead to unexpected results. 3. URL Call: Another method is to call the URL responsible for creating the relationship. This method requires adding an Authorization header. Here is a sample URL:
Copy code
javascript
"https://" + account + "/app/common/entity/company.nl?e=T&target=s_relation:otherrelationships&label=Other+Relationships&fromtype=custjob&id=" + context.newRecord.id + "&totype=vendor"
Please note that this method requires hardcoding the username and password, which is not a recommended practice. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
