how can i create or Implement an Item Hierarchy

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To create or implement an item hierarchy in NetSuite, you can use a combination of custom records and custom fields. Here's a step-by-step guide: 1. Create a Parent-Child Relation Custom Record: This is similar to how departments, locations, subsidiaries, etc., are structured in NetSuite. You can create a parent category and then each child category. The child category record will have the parent tagged. 2. Source the Custom Record in a Custom Field in the Item Record: Once you have your custom record set up, you can create a custom field in the item record that sources this custom record. This allows you to select the category for each item. 3. Create Custom Fields for Each Attribute: For each attribute (like Drive Size, Type, Measurement Units in your example), create a custom field on the item record. Each of these fields should reference a list of all possible values. This ensures that users can't add hierarchy values and maintains the integrity of your data. 4. Use Custom Lists for Different Levels of Hierarchy: It's recommended to use custom lists for all the different levels of the hierarchy. This way, users can't add hierarchy values and you can maintain the integrity of your data. Remember, the design of your website should be able to stack these fields in a hierarchy, similar to how a pivot table would. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
