Quantity Backordered for Item on Inbound Shipment

edited Jun 2, 2025 2:23PM in Ask A Guru 1 comment

Cannot get the quantity backordered from items on an inbound shipment to show up on the item sublist.

Built an Other Sublist Field and linked to a search, but it's giving a ridiculously large number for every line. I've tried every Available Filter and it just isn't associating the correct quantity. The search does show the correct quantity.

Tried to do a formula instead with a join to the item record and it won't recognize it, either.

Can't set it with a workflow because there is not option to Set Field Value for the item sublist.

Why is this record so different from others?

Howdy, Stranger!
