Why can't I search for items across work areas?

Sometimes you may be unable to search for items by the same criteria using the Manage Items task or unable to navigate to Item Details page from search results in either Product Development or Product Information Management work areas.

In this case, perform the Deploy Item Extensible Flexfields task in the Setup and Maintenance work area, using the Refresh and Deploy Offline option.

Note: You should consult with Oracle Support before running this deployment option in other situations.
