Does anyone else find it weird that you can't globally search an Inbound Shipment?  Maybe theres a setting iv'e missed, but I don't understand why you cant find inbound shipments via global search

Can you create a custom field that lives on Inbound Shipment records, and make that custom field globally searchable? Some record types do not support global search and the Global checkbox will be greyed out for all fields even if they are Stored, on those record types.

Unforturnately there is no option for global search when created other record custom fields

I thought of that too, but sadly no go:sob:

Thank you for the idea/response though...just another one of the great mysteries of Netsuite

<@U054U8BM631> this can be solved by creating a custom record type that auto redirects to the relevant inbound shipment - absolute nightmare that you have to but it's possible. guide here - <https://limebox.com/enable-global-search-for-netsuite-inbound-shipment-records-step-by-step/|limebox.com/enable-global-search-for-netsuite-inbound-shipment-records-step-by-step> - they do also have a bundle that I'm using.
