The major components of the Service Catalog in ServiceNow include items and record producers.

Items refer to the individual service offerings available to users, which can include specific services, hardware, software, or assets that an organization is offering. These items are essential as they enable end-users to request what they need directly through the Service Catalog interface.

Record producers are a special type of catalog item that allows users to create a record in a specific table (for example, creating an incident or change request) through the Service Catalog. They simplify the process for end users by providing a guided form that directly corresponds to a particular table in ServiceNow.

Together, items and record producers form the core functional basis of the Service Catalog, enabling effective service delivery and request management within the platform. This distinction is crucial for understanding how users interact with ServiceNow to access services efficiently.
