Exclude one(or more) accounts from Journal Entry

ERPNext Accounting
1

It might sound weird but I was looking for a way to exclude one (or more) account from the journal entry. Suppose I don’t want the Cash account to show up while I am doing a journal entry.

Another case will be I just want Cash and Bank accounts for contra entry. No other accounts should appear for contra entry.

@ag11,

You can write a custom script and add the filters to account field so that is will filter and exclude the account(s).

e.g.

cur_frm.fields_dict.accounts.grid.get_field("account").get_query = function(doc) {
	return {
		filters: {
			'account': ['not in', 'Account A,Account B']
		}
	}
})

Thanks Makarand for your help. But can you tell me which doctype I will apply this script?

The error is gone but with the below script nothing is really hapenning.

cur_frm.fields_dict[“accounts”].grid.get_field(“account”).get_query = function(doc){
return {
filters:{
‘account’: [‘not in’, ‘Cash, Axis Bank’]
}
}
}
