NetSuite Admin Tip: Remove Parent Item Name in Saved Searches

edited Jul 14, 2025 8:55PM in NetSuite Admin Corner 10 comments

When creating Item Saved Searches, the Name field displays the parent matrix item name before the matrix child, (example: Parent Item : Matrix Child).

The Ability to remove the parent matrix item in Inventory Reports is not available yet in the system and Enhancement # 161435 has been filed requesting for this.

As a workaround to display only the Child Item name in the saved search, users can use a Formula (Text) field with either of the following formula:

  • LTRIM(REGEXP_SUBSTR({name},'[^:]*$'))
  • REGEXP_REPLACE(REGEXP_SUBSTR({name},': [^:]+*$'),': ','')
  • CASE WHEN {parent} is NULL THEN {name} ELSE {feedname} END

Howdy, Stranger!
