ValidationError: Options must be a valid DocType for field Payment Terms Template

Hello,

Since I restored an old database to a new installation of ERPNext on elementary OS, I have been getting the following error during bench migrate or bench update. I have read the previous posts on related topics, but couldn’t get a solution from them. Also I didnot make any changes to the fields. Also please mention your help in some detail as I am not totally knowledgeable about the codebase or the subtle details in ERPNext.

Any help in resolving this is very appreciated.

Just to let people know, I seem to have resolved this.

I switched to the branch v8.x.x and then was able to migrate the old database (earlier I was using the latest i.e., v9 ERPNext). After that I switched again to master branch (v9) and then updated my local ERPNext installation.

It seems to use old databases, one should first import them in an old installation and then backup. Old databases won’t work in newer installs unless the appropriate update procedure is followed.

worked for me

Can anybody provide step by step instruction, as to how to apply above solution.I am getting same error while shifting an erpnext version 8 database to erpnext version 10 server with latest build.

Current versions
erpnext 10.1.13
frappe 10.1.6

ubuntu 14.04 server

I tried to use bench update after database restore, also tried to use command bench --site [sitename] migrate, both gives same exact error as mentioned in the above post.

Ok got it !!

For other like me , go to patches location in erpnext, for linux most probably path is

cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench/apps/erpnext/erpnext/patches

In patches folder go to folder V8_7 and modify add_more_gst_fields

add below to lines just below execute command

frappe.reload_doc(‘accounts’, ‘doctype’, ‘payment_terms_template’)
frappe.reload_doc(‘accounts’, ‘doctype’, ‘payment_schedule’)

prefer to check if apostrophe (‘) in above lines are typed right or not, some times copy paste does not work properly, better type it from your keyboard again.

save and go to main frappe-bench directory

cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench

execute sudo bench udpate --patch

now I faced no error and my site is restored from older 8 version to latest one.

It took me 4 hours to understand such little thing, anyhow may be it saves time for somebody !!

Thanks all !!
