what is the record.type. for an item record

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The

record.type

for an item record in NetSuite can vary depending on the specific type of item. For example, it could be

INVENTORY_ITEM

,

ASSEMBLY_ITEM

,

KIT_ITEM

, etc. However, when you are unsure of the specific item type, you can use the generic

search.Type.ITEM

to search across all item types. If you need to determine the specific

record.type

of an item, you can use the

search.lookupFields

method. Here is an example:

javascript
var recordType = search.lookupFields({
    id : itemId, 
    type : search.Type.ITEM, 
    columns : 'recordtype' 
});

This will return the true 'recordtype' value which you can then use elsewhere to load the record by Type. Remember, if you are trying to get certain field values from a record, using

search.lookupFields

is a more governance-friendly option than loading the entire record. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
