How do kits/packages differ from Assembly items

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Kits/Packages and Assembly items in NetSuite have different functionalities and uses. Kit/Package Items: These are a collection of items that are sold together as a single unit but are not assembled into a single item. They do not have an inventory detail subrecord, meaning you cannot track the inventory of a kit as a whole, but rather the individual items that make up the kit. The pricing for kits can be different from the sum of the individual items, allowing for package discounts or other pricing strategies. Assembly Items: These are items that are built or assembled from other items and have their own inventory detail. This means you can track the inventory of the assembled item as a whole, separate from its components. Assembly items are useful when you sell a product that is made up of multiple other items, and you want to track the inventory of the finished product separately. Converting assemblies to kits is not straightforward in NetSuite. It would require creating a saved search to return the assemblies and components, and then using that data to map a CSV import to create kits. This process would likely involve some Excel manipulation to get the data in the correct format. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
