Stock Entry - Get Items from Purchase Invoice/Material Request: Adding allow_child_item_selection

Hello,

I have a use case where we need to select items from Purchase Invoice/Material Request while creating a new stock entry.

I added the following code in stock_entry.js from the example of Purchase Order>Get Items From>Material Request: https://github.com/frappe/erpnext/blob/develop/erpnext/buying/doctype/purchase_order/purchase_order.js

frm.add_custom_button(
				__("Material Request"),
				function () {
					const allowed_request_types = [
						"Material Transfer",
						"Material Issue",
						"Customer Provided",
					];
					const depends_on_condition = "eval:doc.material_request_type==='Customer Provided'";
					const d = erpnext.utils.map_current_doc({
						method: "erpnext.stock.doctype.material_request.material_request.make_stock_entry",
						source_doctype: "Material Request",
						target: frm,
						date_field: "schedule_date",
						setters: [
							{
								fieldtype: "Select",
								label: __("Purpose"),
								options: allowed_request_types.join("\n"),
								fieldname: "material_request_type",
								default: "Material Transfer",
								mandatory: 1,
								change() {
									if (this.value === "Customer Provided") {
										d.dialog.get_field("customer").set_focus();
									}
								},
							},
							{
								fieldtype: "Link",
								label: __("Customer"),
								options: "Customer",
								fieldname: "customer",
								depends_on: depends_on_condition,
								mandatory_depends_on: depends_on_condition,
							},
						],
						get_query_filters: {
							docstatus: 1,
							material_request_type: ["in", allowed_request_types],
							status: ["not in", ["Transferred", "Issued", "Cancelled", "Stopped"]],
						},
                    	allow_child_item_selection: true,
                    	child_fieldname: "items",
                    	child_columns: ["item_code", "qty", "custom_order_no"]
					});
				},
				__("Get Items From")
			);
		}

It is enabling the item selection option and items as well:

BUT, clicking on Get Items is generating error:

TypeError: make_stock_entry() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given

Got the same result by adding code in Get Items From Purchase Invoice section.
I will appreciate guidelines to solve it.

Anyone? Will appreciate any guideline. Thanks.

Hey Rapidweb just by curiosity?

Why from PINV/MATREQ → Stock Entry?

Usually, the “Stock Entry” already have “Get Items From → Material Request”

Hello @max_morais_dmm, as you can see that we need child item selection for both PINV/MATREQ which is not available right now. Besides, in MATREQ status, ‘Purchase’ is excluded for unknown reason which is our requirement too.

I found the following code (modified with custom field) in Purchase Order DocType to invoke> Get Items From> Material Request with child item selection:

allow_child_item_selection: true,
child_fieldname: “items”,
child_columns: [“item_code”, “qty”, “custom_order_no”]

While this codes work fine in purchase_order.js when I tried to add the code in stock_entry.js,
it shows the child item selection options with desired custom columns but with the above errors.

Someone pointed that the error: “TypeError: make_stock_entry() takes from 1 to 2 positional arguments but 3 were given” represents the 3 args given: source_names, target_docs and args. I am not adept in Python and looking for guidelines to solve it.

We have a use case where people create a single Project to make some product. Next, they create 5-10 MATREQUESTS for raw materials items of individual categories with ‘Purchase Request’ in material requests.
Later, they want to transfer the ordered and received items for that PROJECT to the floor where the final items are prepared. It is to create a simple workflow for a small manufacturing company and to avoid the complexity of creating BoM and Manufacturing process available in the software.

Now, they need to Get Items From MATREQUEST with item selection ability with custom fields like Project No./Order No. which is not present in the current versions.

Thanks!

@rapidweb why dont use the “Purchase Receipt” so?

MR to Buy → PO → Purchase Receipt → Target Stock
MR to Transfer → STE → Target Stock

Getting things from PO to Stock Entry, will create a big mess in the accounting if you didn’t really know what you are doing in terms of accounting, and how to properly solve those problems!

I really wish you have an experienced accountant support you with those decisions!
