How to find default company of the logged in user

Hi All,

frappe.defaults.get_user_default("company") always seems to return default company for the site and not the default company of the logged in user. How do I get default company of the logged in user? I am trying to set default value for a report filter based on the logged in user's default company.

    <td id="LC14" class="blob-line-code js-file-line">			<span class="s2">"fieldname"</span><span class="o">:</span><span class="s2">"company"</span><span class="p">,</span></td>

It should get the users default. Maybe it's not set / there are multiple defaults.

The fault lies with the new permissions system which replaced the user defaults. User permissions are based on doctype names and not field names. 

@rushabh Let's discuss this on Monday.

Cool - but then didn't we set the defaults based on DocTypes (?) - if not, thats an easy fix.

Hi Mayur,

For now, use frappe.defaults.get_user_default("Company") with capital "C".

Actually, use:
frappe.defaults.get_user_default("Company") || frappe.defaults.get_global_default("company")


so that global default company is used as fallback!

@rushabh and @anand,

In our ERPNext instance we have 7 companies (2 new companies are going to be added soon for taxation purpose). I am employed by company B (in my employee record, the company is set as B). All my leave applications are added against company B. I am assigned to two companies (A and B) as part of User Permissions Manager so that I can create purchase order for both Company A and B. Please note there are about 23 users who has this kind of configuration.

In our custom report, we have a company filter. Ideally, we want to set company filter based on logged in user’s employee record. There is an issue with using “frappe.defaults.get_user_default(“Company”) || frappe.defaults.get_global_default(“company”)”. It always return the first record from user permissions manager for company doctype for the logged in user. So when I logged it set the company filter as Company A.

Is there a way to get the value for company field based on logged user’s employee record? Thanks.

Hi Mayur,

Have a look at this example: Not Found

You can use it to get the Employee record.

-Anand.

@anand
Thanks. I can see that using this script:

frappe.ui.form.on("Library Transaction", "library_member",
    function(frm) {
        frappe.call({
            "method": "frappe.client.get",
            args: {
                doctype: "Library Member",
                name: frm.doc.library_member
            },
            callback: function (data) {
                frappe.model.set_value(frm.doctype,
                    frm.docname, "member_name",
                    data.message.first_name
                    + (data.message.last_name ?
                        (" " + data.message.last_name) : ""))
            }
        })
    });

I should be able to get the employee’s company by passing user_id (frappe.user.name) as a filter. couple of questions:

  • Can I still pass frm as an argument to function? Please note this is for a custom report. It doesn’t have cur_frm.
  • Once I get the employee’s company value, how can I use it to set the company filter’s on the report page to this value?

Share the structure of your report so we can help you with the best solution (on a new thread)
