I'm new to Netsuite, so please bear with me. I have created a saved item search that is working fine with one exception; one of the result columns I have chosen is not displaying data in the returned rows. This is a custom field created by our old Netsuite Administrator and it does display data on an item record, just not in search results. I've done some searching and thought I found the problem when I read another post that said that "Global Search" and "Show In List" needed to be checked on the custom field. I did that, but the search results still do not display any data for that column.
The field is a custom item field of the type decimal number. Store value, show in list and global search is checked. The field is applied to inventory items, non-inventory items, kit/package and assembly/bill of materials. What am I missing? TIA
I suspect the field has field level access permissions. Go to the field definition and click the 'Access' tab. The 'Default Level or Searching/Reporting' should be at least 'Run'.
Global Search on a field makes it so if you enter a value in the Global Search bar that matches the field's value for an item then that item will be shown as a possible match. It has nothing to do with your issue. Neither does Show in List.

When I create a list, I have gotten into the habit of doing the following:
Change Title field name to Item
Give it the default value of View
Go to Advanced Settings
Allow management of content types > Yes
Click Save
Then in Settings, click on the Item type
Then click on the Item field and select Hidden
Then go back to Advanced Settings
Allow management of content types > No
Click Save
The result of this is that:
The Title field (now called Item) is hidden in the form
I have a column called Item, which has the link View in each row (which opens up the item)
I can’t remember why I started doing this (possibly one of the reasons outlined in this video), but the use case must have demanded it and I just kept doing it.
However, lately I have been having troubling thoughts about whether it negatively effects indexing or has any other undesired outcomes.
For example, I did a search in a list the other today, and in the drop down search results that were displayed, I just got multiple rows of the value View.
I also read just before posting this question that list items in the recycle bin will be identified by the value that was in the Title column. So if they all say View it will be impossible to differentiate one from the other.
So I just thought I would see if there is any authoritative, definitive best practice around the Title column, and ask if my convention is bad and if so what I should replace it with.
Thank You.
(Edit: I also hide the Title column in document libraries, as it doesn’t seem to serve a purpose, as clicking on the value in the Name column opens up the document anyway - therefore the ‘link’ action of the Title field is not required).
I have created a Custom Field in Netsuite for Item.
Due to some data issue, the value in the custom field is corrupted and i need to again reset all the values to null or empty.
How i can empty the Custom Field value to null through the Netsuite Portal and not through scripts?
Just change the data type on the custom field. You will get a warning saying "Changing this custom field type will delete all data in existing records. Are you sure you want to do this?" Click "OK" and save, then you can change it back to the original data type and carry on as you were.
#Krypton's answer is definitely the fastest, you can also use the Mass Update feature to accomplish this, but you'll need to do each item type individually:
Lists -> Mass Update -> Mass Updates
Expand "General Updates"
Click on Items -> Inventory Item
Leave the "Criteria" blank if you want to clear the field for all records
On the "Mass Update Fields" tab, check the "Apply" box next to the field you want to clear
Do not enter anything in the "Value" column
Click the "Preview" button.
Click the "Perform Update" button
You'll need to do this for each item type (Inventory Item, Non-Inventory Item (for Sale), Kit/Package, etc.)
Another way of doing it is to uncheck the Store Value, save, check Store Value, save.
I am working on Multi Select List Box document property with search field.
It works fine when I give any keyword like 'An' it gives me Andorra, Angola, Anguilla etc. I can multi-select all these 3 records and make my underlying data table filtered.
Now the challenge is, if I search for the records that starts with Z in the search bar and click Enter then the above selection is deselected/disappeared (meaning the last search elements alone will be available).
Any ideas on how to make the current selection and newly searched elements available ?
Any inputs and suggestions would be much helpful.
Attached the sample dxp file and screenshots.
I think the filtering you are doing is based on the document property attached to this multi select list box.
You can make another property and attach this value to that doc property, whenever somebody changes this value run an IronPython to append to that doc property.
Give a reset button to clear this value when required
There is a field called "status" on the Item Fulfillment if you are using Pick/Pack/Ship feature. The field id is shipstatus and it's values are Picked, Packed, and Shipped.
I cannot find this field on the form to move it's place at all. I have looked under ship status and just status. I have expanded all the subtabs to use ctrl+f to search for it. I cannot find it.
Has anyone else hit this? Am I missing something? How can I move the location of this field?
This field is under the "Classification" tab on the main screen of my Item Fulfillment transactions.
If you want to move the field, you can either create custom record based on the standard Item Fulfillments and move the field to the required ta or you could edit the original form(I believe this is still possible).
Is there a way to display or filter (by editing a Template) all the products that match a certain Custom Field parameter (in example "custitem_outlet)"?
I have already added on the Netsuite backend these custom fields as checkboxes.
I would like to show the items on different Lists, in example one list will show the items with "custitem_outlet" checked and the other with "custitem_arrivals" checked.
Thanks in advance!
