Item name to be shown along with Item code

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Hi All,
Can anyone kindly let me know how Can I have the Item name along with the Item code. This seems to automatically happen when I’m in quotation.

Once once I goto Sales order it doesn’t seem to have that property.

So I had to enable “In list view” for item name and its seems its waste of valuable space. Any idea how to achieve the same as “Quotation”???

I did look up and down in the customization, failed find a specific syntax for it.

Cheers I think this should do,
BTW, can you tell me where to enter this? Is it like a custom script? Or entered at customize form?

You can write this code in two places:

frappe.form.link_formatters['Item'] = function(value, doc) {
    return value;
}
  1. Custom Script (for each DocType you want to change).
  2. Custom JavaScript file on the server (for all DocTypes).

If you can access the server files, I can help you to implement the second approach.

For this 2. Custom JavaScript file on the server (for all DocTypes). where do you add the script is there a specific file?

You could use the following steps:

  • Login to your server via SSH
  • Create a new directory for custom scripts:
mkdir /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/public/js/custom
  • Create a new Js file:
touch /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/public/js/custom/utils.js
  • Add this content to the file and save it:
frappe.form.link_formatters['Item'] = function(value, doc) {
    return value;
}

frappe.form.link_formatters['Employee'] = function(value, doc) {
    return value;
}
  • Edit build.json file:
    /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/public/build.json
  • Append the following item to the array “js/erpnext.min.js”:
"public/js/custom/utils.js"
  • Build assets:
cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench && bench build

Please note that you can choose any name you want for the directory and the file.

@mibrahim thank you very much for you contribution. I’m on the hosted server so I think SSH is out for, I’ll take the first route.
