Create entry using javascript only

Frappe Framework Customization

Is it possible to create an entry using custom script only?

Use case:
I need to generate Purchase Orders all at once on the Sales Order

Sure…you can create the using the new_doc method.

You can reference an example here:

erpnext/erpnext/healthcare/doctype/patient_encounter/patient_encounter.js

Thanks! will try this one first.

My issue so far is that it will route me to that doc.

5

frappe.set_route("Form", doctype, name);

Hi, thanks but I dont want to get routed. I need to create multiple PO all at once.

7

you can Create hook on Sales Order and in py can differentiate how many sales order you want to create.

it’s not with javascript but i guess can solve your use case

8

you can use following script,

frappe.call({
	method: "frappe.client.insert",
	args: {
		doc: doc // doc object
	},
	callback: function(r) {
		//callback script
	}
});

Thanks! it worked. But I have another issue now, It won’t create if I loop it.

I see, I wish we can do it in py. We are using ERPNext Cloud.

@Sangram any idea why it won’t work If I loop the items? Ex. I have 6 line items, I need to create 6 POs all at once.

I’ve tried to add ToDo by creating data obj arrays and map to function frappe.client.insert and it works. I tested in browser console.

let docs = [{"description":"test1","doctype":"ToDo"},{"description":"test2","doctype":"ToDo"},{"description":"test3","doctype":"ToDo"}];
const funcs = docs.map((doc) => {
  frappe.call({
    method: "frappe.client.insert",
    args: {
      doc: doc // doc object
    },
    callback: function(r) {
      //callback script
    }
  });  
});

Promise.all(funcs).then(()=> {
  console.log("Done");
});
