Hello, We are setting up inbound shipment transactions, and I have two questions: * After the inbound shipment is created, there is no two-way reference in the related purchase order. We can find the related PO in the inbound shipment, but we cannot see the related inbound shipments in the PO itself (I'd expect to see it in the related records, but nothing). Wondering if this is an available customization option? Or just a missing feature? This would save time having to pull a separate search for inbound shipments every time we want to locate the related inbound shipments from a given PO. * Related, we're also wondering if there's a way to have the PO "Shipping Terms" field show on the inbound shipment, as this determines when certain actions must be taken on the inbound shipment. Thanks

Hello @User_EVVPG, To see the linked inbound shipment record from the purchase order record, under Items subtab, you may see a Quantity on Shipment transaction column in the item line. If you'll click on the quantity link you'll get a pop up window with details of the Inbound Shipment. When you click the Shipment Number, you will be routed to the inbound shipment record. If the Quantity on Shipment column is not visible on the PO form, please perform the following steps: * Edit any Purchase Order * Top right of page > hover mouse over 'Customize' > select Customize form * Transaction Form page will open > Under Sublist Fields tab > check show checkbox beside 'Quantity on Shipments' * Click Save * Refresh Purchase Order page > on the item line > Quantity on Shipments column, click on the link > new window will open > click on link on under Shipment Number I also did find a related enhancement about showing the Inbound Shipment in the Related Records tab of Item/Transaction records. It is filed as Enhancement # 467567 and you can vote for it in the SuiteIdeas page. Regarding Custom fields, after further consultation, it is not possible to source fields from the PO using formula, workflow, or via sourcing & filtering but it seems possible via Scripting. Just to set proper expectations, please be informed that the scope of our support here in NetSuite Support Community does not include creating and implementing any complete scripting solutions from scratch. For this, we recommend that you consult your technical requirements with your in-house developer or you may avail the services of our Professional Services or Advanced Customer Support Teams through your Account Manager so that they may help in developing your script. However, we can provide resources that may help and get you started. Refer to the following SuiteAnswers Articles: 43519: SuiteScript 2.x API Introduction 45152: N/record Module 43702: N/search Module And, if you have any specific concerns or inquiries in the course of the script development, you can post them here in the community. That way, we might be able to help you further. Hope this information clarifies your concern. -Ivy

Inbound Shipment Transaction Customization/ PO mapping

User_EVVPG

Hello,

We are setting up inbound shipment transactions, and I have two questions:

After the inbound shipment is created, there is no two-way reference in the related purchase order. We can find the related PO in the inbound shipment, but we cannot see the related inbound shipments in the PO itself (I'd expect to see it in the related records, but nothing). Wondering if this is an available customization option? Or just a missing feature? This would save time having to pull a separate search for inbound shipments every time we want to locate the related inbound shipments from a given PO.
Related, we're also wondering if there's a way to have the PO "Shipping Terms" field show on the inbound shipment, as this determines when certain actions must be taken on the inbound shipment.

Thanks
