There is no built-in functionality in NetSuite to directly convert a kit/package item to an assembly item. Here's a suggested workaround: 1. Create a saved search to return the kit/package items and their components. 2. Use the results of the saved search to map a CSV import to create new assembly items. Please note that this process might require some data manipulation in Excel or another spreadsheet software to format the data correctly for the CSV import. Also, keep in mind that kit items do not have an inventory detail subrecord, which is disabled for kit items. An assembly, on the other hand, is a kit that you build and has its own inventory detail. Remember, if you have a top-level item that needs to be auto-built when the requisite subassemblies are built and available, it might be better to set it up as a kit. If you decide to use scripts to automate the build process, be aware of the data usage that goes with it. Each build is a work order plus an assembly build record, and if you move assembly items in volume, data usage can quickly become an issue.
