How to Enable Drill Down to a Custom Detail Report in NetSuite
Discover the specific report types that support drill-down functionality, including examples of inventory reports with this capability.
Short answer
The 'Drill Down Report' field is available only for NetSuite reports with inherent drill-down capabilities, like the Income Statement. While some inventory reports lack a direct summary/detail pair, others such as the Inventory Valuation Report and Current Inventory Snapshot Report do support drill-down functionality.
Scenario
Users attempting to configure a custom detail report may find the 'Drill Down Report' field missing from the 'More Options' page. This typically occurs when the selected report does not inherently support drill-down functionality, leading to confusion about its availability.
Solution
The 'Drill Down Report' field is available exclusively on NetSuite reports that offer out-of-the-box drill-down functionality.While some specific reports, such as 'Inventory Status', may not offer a direct summary/detail pair, other inventory-related reports do support drill-down capabilities. Examples include the Inventory Valuation Report, Inventory Revenue Report, and Current Inventory Snapshot Report, all of which allow drill-down to underlying transactions.For instance, the Income Statement report offers both summary and detail views, and consequently includes the 'Drill Down Report' field on its More Options page.
