can i utilize group items on a purchase order

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

Based on the conversations, it appears that you cannot directly utilize group items on a purchase order in NetSuite. Group items and kits do not show up when you try to place a purchase order transaction. This is because these are considered as sales items and not purchase items. However, there are workarounds suggested in the threads. One suggestion is to use an assembly item to purchase it and then do an assembly unbuild. But this might have incorrect General Ledger (GL) impact. Another suggestion is to use an item group in combination with a column sublist flag that controls what prints on the PO pdf. You can add a flag as a column field on the item sublist and choose to display the item group component items on transactions. When the component lines are added, mark off the new flag field. In the PO output (you would have to be using an advanced pdf form), then you filter the items printed by the flag (where flag = No). That way you only print the item group header but can receive the component parts. Please note that these are workarounds and might not be the perfect solution for your specific use case. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
