12/30/2019, 7:54 AMHi @PabloZ, I need to render on the Product List page (search and categories), some items that are not allocated on NetSuite. I need to know what is the module on SCA 2019.2 that ingests the "Items API", and also the records associated with this, do you know by any chance?

If the items do not exist in NetSuite then how would someone purchase it?
The items API pulls from your NS ERP account and these would be referenced in the sales orders etc records.

12/30/2019, 4:18 PMI would suggest you look to have some sort of product data sync between NS and these items that are not in NS.
So in effect your pulling in the product data in NS.
If the products you want to show in the PLP page are not purchasable then you can you use any 3rd party A/B testing tool to inject the content.
We do this on our SCA site to inject banner in between the rows
https://www.ukflooringdirect.co.uk/laminate-flooring
So on the above link the "trade" banner is injected after the first row

12/30/2019, 9:33 PMThank you @Rehan Ali, the items would be purchasable, but we'll have some suitelets that will create the item record once the customer purchases them. The thing is that I'm creating some "middleware" in order to bypass the Items API, and fed the Product List Page, but I dont know which SCA module handles the response from the Items API, you have any idea?

12/30/2019, 9:43 PMI'm not sure on the specific module.
However, are you sure your approach would work? Because how would the sales order record be created in NS if the item record does not exist until after the purchase.
