It is often the situation that you will need to work with many types of NetSuite item records, often without being given the specific type of item record beforehand. The following code blocks should provide an intuitive solution on how to process multiple types of item records.
1. const ITEM_MAPPING
Somewhere in your function, initialize this object:
const ITEM_MAPPING = {
"Assembly": record.Type.ASSEMBLY_ITEM,
"Description": record.Type.DESCRIPTION_ITEM,
"Discount": record.Type.DISCOUNT_ITEM,
"GiftCert": record.Type.GIFT_CERTIFICATE_ITEM,
"InvtPart": record.Type.INVENTORY_ITEM,
"Group": record.Type.ITEM_GROUP,
"Kit": record.Type.KIT_ITEM,
"Markup": record.Type.MARKUP_ITEM,
"NonInvtPart": record.Type.NON_INVENTORY_ITEM,
"OthCharge": record.Type.OTHER_CHARGE_ITEM,
"Payment": record.Type.PAYMENT_ITEM,
"Service": record.Type.SERVICE_ITEM,
"Subtotal": record.Type.SUBTOTAL_ITEM
};2. search.createColumn
In your search for fetching item records, include the record type as a column.
search.createColumn({name: "type", label: "Type"})3. const itemRecord
When loading the item record, use the item mapping in square bracket notation to utilize the correct record.Type.
const itemRecord = record.load({
type: ITEM_MAPPING[result.getValue("type")],
id: result.getValue("internalid")
