How to find all items with the same MPN but different manufacturers in a saved search?

To find items with the same display name but different manufacturers in a NetSuite saved search, you can use a combination of filters and formulas. Here’s how you can approach it:

1. **Create a Saved Search**:

  – Navigate to **Lists > Search > Saved Searches > New** and select the **Item** record type.

2. **Set Criteria**:

  – Add a filter for items with a **Display Name** that is not empty.

  – Optionally, filter for specific item types if needed (e.g., Inventory Items).

3. **Use a Formula Field**:

  – In the **Results** tab, add a **Formula (Text)** field to group items by their display name and manufacturer.

  – Use a formula like this:

   ```sql

   {displayname} || ' - ' || {manufacturer}

   ```

  – This concatenates the display name and manufacturer into a single field for easier comparison.

4. **Group and Summarize**:

  – Set the **Summary Type** for the formula field to **Group**.

  – Add a **Count** field to identify items with multiple manufacturers for the same display name.

5. **Filter for Duplicates**:

  – In the **Criteria** tab, add a filter to show only items where the count of manufacturers is greater than 1.
