Including Inventory Number in global search

I actually can't find any option how can i add this Inventory Number entries (subtab on item records) in global search. It would save me a lot of time if this field can be searchable under global netsuite's search which is located in header of every single page.

Is something like this possible? I asked their support and they are navigating me to their support documentation which is not that rich when this question is placed.

Please see screenshot of what i want to include in my global search

There isn't a way that I know of to make default fields accessible to the global search but you can make custom fields accessible.

You should be able to make a custom field that stores the value of the Inventory Number. Custom fields have a checkbox of "Global Search". The field must store the value so you will need to make sure that it updates if the Inventory Number ever updates (workflow/suitescript).

From NetSuite article 8403 titled "Including Custom Fields in Global Search":

To index a custom field to be included in global search, a user with permission to edit or create custom fields must check the Global Search box on the custom field record. By default, the Available for Global Search box is not checked for preexisting or new custom fields.

Global search indexing is available for the following data types, when the Store Value preference is enabled:

  • Currency

  • Decimal Number

  • Email Address

  • Free-Form Text

  • Help

  • Hyperlink

  • Inline HTML

  • Integer Number

  • Percent

  • Phone Number

  • Text Area

You cannot index a custom field for global search if None is selected for any Level for Search/Reporting option on the Access subtab of the custom field record.
