How to put all the customization into a new application.Easier when erpNext needs to be updated later.

2

Create a custom app “my_company”

bench new-app my_company

Edit the file hooks.py in your app to specify everything you want to export. For example, “Custom Field” will export all additional fields yo added to any DocType.

# hooks.py
# ...
fixtures = [
    "Custom Field",
    # add more here
]
# ...

Now, run the following to be actually export the fixtures.

bench export-fixtures --app my_company

This will write your customisations into files in your custom app. Now all that’s left is to add the files to version control. In your app’s directory, run the following:

# initialize a git repo, if you didn't already
git init
# add and commit changes
git add .
git commit -m "feat: bench export-fixtures"

You can only add DocTypes, but in ERPNext almost everything is a DocType, even custom fields.

So if i wrote custom script on sales invoice in my custom app then I added ‘Custom Script’ To fixture dictionary in my custom app hooks, then it will be exported to my site also?

Yes you can add it like this

{ “doctype”: “Custom Script”, “filters”: [ [“name” , “in” , ( “Sales Invoice-Client” )] ] }

Custom Script is not recommended to be exported as a fixture if you already have a custom app, as mentioned here:
