I have a situation where I need to perform a convert non-inventory item to inventory item to perform the same thing that the UI functionality performs but completely in script.

I was hoping nlapiTransformRecord would do the trick but do not see anything for supporting this in either 2009.2 or 2010.1.

Is there a way to do this via script and get the same results as the UI functionality? Specifically, be able to have previous records that used the non-inventory item still point to the old non-inventory item while new ones will see the inventory item.

If this is nothing more than copying data from the non-inventory and changing the accounts, deactivating the non-inventory, then I have no problem scripting all this. I would just need to know what needs to be set on each record type to get the same benefit of the UI functionality.
