Where are the changes saved?

Hi @peterg

Thank you for taking the time. I have been reading and looking at videos for the entire day, in
an effort to understand “Doctypes” and “Forms”. I dont even want to go into the detail of
what I did on the backend ( via SSH ) to search for these changes. Never thought of a table
in the database. So … thank you.

What I found …
It seems the changes are indeed in tabCustom Field …Cool …

Oh… this is related to my post …

Is this acceptable way of doing?

Hi I tried solving a problem that I had and I think I actually managed to do it. I would like to invite some comments about the way I am doing this … Here is the situation… Person A raises Material request ( purchase ) Person B in buying dept raises Purchase order Person C in Goods-receiving dept receives order items If person C should do a stock entry for an item, he cannot select the relevant purchase oder. ( Purchase order is only visible on Stock entry under limited conditions) So i…

So, in short what I did was to add a field each to "Stock Entry Detail’ and
“Purchase Receipt Item”.

here is a snip…

I noticed that these tables have indeed those fields added to the respective database-tables.

But now there is still a spot of confusion …

As I say, my goal is to get to grips with doctypes vs Forms. And from what I have read so far,
it seemed that , the doctype and the database-table for that doctype is closely
related. I.e. when you create your own doctype, it actually creates a table for that doctype.
Right ?

But now, I did not change the doctype for “Purchase Receipt Item” and yet the database table
'tabPurchase Receipt Item` contains the added field “Stock Entry” ( See pic below)

So now, the table structure of tabPurchase Receipt Item does not correspond with the
doctype definition of “Purchase Receipt Item”

Is this possible ?
