Need to create a journal without giving rights to Account doctype

Frappe Framework App Development

I want to create journals from a custom doctype. The custom doctype when submitted will create a journal entry record and submit it. Somewhat like what is done for Asset revaluation using python script and not give the user access.

e.g. erpnext/erpnext/assets/doctype/asset_value_adjustment/asset_value_adjustment.py at master · frappe/erpnext · GitHub

For me, it fails with an error, that the has_permission has failed for doctype Account and gives an error as below, even though I have set the ignore_permissions flag for the doc.

Has anybody done this before?

raise frappe.PermissionError
PermissionError

The code is like this:

def make_journal_entry(accounts,date,bill_no=None):
	if len(accounts) <= 0:
		frappe.throw(_("Something went while creating journal entry"))
	jv_doc = frappe.get_doc(dict(
		doctype = "Journal Entry",
		posting_date = date,
		accounts = accounts,
		bill_no = bill_no
	))
	jv_doc.flags.ignore_permissions = True
	jv_doc.save(ignore_permissions = True)
	jv_doc.submit()
	return jv_doc.name

add this flag as well

frappe.flags.ignore_account_permission = True
