Convert already existing items to Matrix Children
Is it possible to create an empty matrix parent item in web services, then update existing inventory items (with sales/purchase history) to add them as children to the parent matrix? I ran a few tests on existing items already, and even though netsuite returns a successful update, setting these fields doesn't seem to work as expected (all fields copied from an exsiting matrix child, then that child deleted, to ensure accuracy)
[php]
$request = new UpdateRequest();
$request->record = new InventoryItem();
$request->record->internalId = '15';
$request->record->type = RecordType::inventoryItem;
$request->record->matrixType = '_child';
[php]
$request = new UpdateRequest();
$request->record = new InventoryItem();
$request->record->internalId = '15';
$request->record->type = RecordType::inventoryItem;
$request->record->matrixType = '_child';
