Hello
I want to create a new doctype. It should appear in HR. I found only the ways to customize the existing forms. I want to know how can I create a new form , name it as special issues and classify it under Expense Claims.
Thanks in advance.
Steps to create a new doctype are outlined in the manual:
https://erpnext.org/docs/user/manual/en/customize-erpnext/custom-doctype
Simply type New Doctype in global search. Next step is to add the fields and give the doctype a structure. Here you can also specify under which module the doctype should appear.

To: [employee name]
Position:[employee position]
Text: [message body text]
From:[employee name] who send the message
Position:[employee position]
when i save the new doctype the system give message “employee field repeated”, “position field repeated”
which fields can i chose in my new DocType?
@sameh2 Based on the questions you are asking I think you would benefit from completing the tutorial ; it is really great for understanding the structure of the Frappe and will answer your question more completely than answers on this thread.
Hi Kenneth,
I am wei xiang. The steps you provided for doctype is it equivalent to creating new modules for HR?
You can create a new DocType in the HR module by using customization tools in your ERP system. Look for options to define new forms rather than just modifying existing ones.
