Hi @MaysaaSafadi

Can you share your custom code?
It seems that, the py method is not called from the JS properly

Thank u for your reply @rohit_w

I called it and it work fine on my local but when i run it on server , the problem appaer
Here the function on .py file

def generate_auto_request_num (self):
d = datetime.date.today()
auto_num =self.generat_auto_num()
self.request_number = str(d.year) + str(d.month) +‘0000’+ str(auto_num)
self.auto_num = auto_num
return self.request_number

and in the .js file:
onload: function(frm) {
generate_auto_request_num(frm.doc)
},

@rohit_w here the rest of the code, sorry of that trubble,

var generate_auto_request_num = function (doc) {
** frappe.call({**
** doc: doc,**
** method: “generate_auto_request_num”,**
** callback: function (r) {**
** // console.log(r)**
** refresh_many([“request_number”]);**
** }**
});
}

@MaysaaSafadi you need to whitelist the function:

@frappe.whitelist()
def generate_auto_request_num(self): 
...

in order to call from JS

7

@JoEz but the tow files are in the same place, the .py and the .js also

@MaysaaSafadi what u mean “are in the same place?”. In order to call a python method from js u need to whitelist

Hi @MaysaaSafadi

You need to pass the object(frm.doc) in the json

frappe.call({
  doc: frm.doc,
  method: generate_auto_request_num,
  callback: function(r, rt) {
     //call back operation
  }
})

for example see below code

PY code
