what record links components to an item

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The record that links components to an item in NetSuite is the Assembly Item record. This record allows you to view the components of an Assembly Item under the record for that specific Assembly Item. However, to see if an Inventory Item or raw material is a part of an Assembly Item as a component under that Inventory Record, you would need to create a multi-select field and script that will source the information. Alternatively, you can use the "Component where used" Inquiry page. For linking a custom record to an item record, you can add a field to your custom record where the Type is List/Record and the List is Item. Alternatively, you can add a new Item field where the Type is List/Record and the List is your custom record. To automate this process, you can use a workflow to set it every time automatically, or provide a default value to the field. The "record is parent" checkbox on the custom record field where the Item is set will automatically add a sublist on the item record showing custom record entries. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
