Custom Script to Select Print Format

1

Is there a way to programatically set the print format using a custom script?

2

Hello,

Please elaborate your requirement. Will there be some criteria based on which print format will be set? An example will be helpful.

For now, you can set default Print Format for the document from Customize Form. This allows you to set even custom print format as default.

Example: When I change the Purchase Invoice “Series”, I would like to have the Print Format changed from “Standard” to “My Print Format”.

Basically depending on the Series I would like to different print formats selected automatically.

@ArundhatiS I created an issue in github (#7849)

Thanks. For now, you can manually set default Print Format for a Doctype (say Sales Invoice) from Customize Form. So, after changing the series, you will just to need to update default Print Format for a Doctype in the Customize Form.

Yes that is what we do now. But often people forget to change and print using the wrong format. So scripting would solve this.

This is the code I use for quotation

frappe.ui.form.on(‘Quotation’, ‘onload’, function(frm){
if (!frm.doc.company) {
frm.set_value(“company”, “Mampaey Engineering BVBA”);
};
frm.set_value(‘letter_head’, “BVBA Quotation”);
if (frm.doc.company == “Mampaey Engineering & Co NV”) {
frm.set_value(‘letter_head’, “NV Quotation”);
};
frm.add_fetch(“customer”, “bvba_leverancier_nr”, “levbvba”);
frm.add_fetch(“customer”, “nv_leverancier_nr”, “levnv”);
});
// Company based on naming series
frappe.ui.form.on(“Quotation”, “naming_series”, function(frm, cdt, cdn){
frappe.after_ajax(function() {
var d = locals[cdt][cdn];
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-.YY.M-”) {
frm.set_value(“company”, “Mampaey Engineering & Co NV”);
frm.set_value(‘letter_head’, “NV Quotation”);
frm.set_value(‘me_leverancier_nr’, frm.doc.levnv);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-.YY.H-”) {
frm.set_value(“company”, “Mampaey Engineering & Co NV”);
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “NV Bestek”);
frm.set_value(‘me_leverancier_nr’, frm.doc.levnv);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-M.YY.-”) {
frm.set_value(“company”, “Mampaey Engineering BVBA”);
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “BVBA Quotation”);
frm.set_value(‘me_leverancier_nr’, frm.doc.levbvba);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-H.YY.-”) {
frm.set_value(“company”, “Mampaey Engineering BVBA”);
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “BVBA Bestek”);
frm.set_value(‘me_leverancier_nr’, frm.doc.levbvba);
};
frm.refresh_field(“me_leverancier”);
});
});
// leverancier nummer ophalen
frappe.ui.form.on(“Quotation”, “customer”, function(frm, cdt, cdn){
frappe.after_ajax(function() {
var d = locals[cdt][cdn];
if (frm.doc.company == “Mampaey Engineering & Co NV”) {
frm.add_fetch(“customer”, “nv_leverancier_nr”, “me_leverancier_nr”);
};
if (frm.doc.company == “Mampaey Engineering BVBA”) {
frm.add_fetch(“customer”, “bvba_leverancier_nr”, “me_leverancier_nr”);
};
frm.add_fetch(“customer”, “language”, “taal”);
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-.YY.M-”) {
frm.set_value(‘letter_head’, “NV Quotation”);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-.YY.H-”) {
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “NV Bestek”);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-M.YY.-”) {
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “BVBA Quotation”);
};
if (frm.doc.naming_series == “QTN-H.YY.-”) {
frm.set_value(“letter_head”, “BVBA Bestek”);
};
});
});
cur_frm.add_fetch(‘item_code’, ‘lange_omschrijving’, ‘lange_omschrijving’);
cur_frm.cscript.custom_validate = function(doc) {
// clear chauveheid
doc.chauveheid= " ";

// chauveheid is based on user
switch(user) {
    case "manu@mampaey-engineering.be":
        doc.chauveheid = "Service Center : Chauveheid 124 - B4987 Stoumont - Tel: 086/43 43 01 - Fax 086/43 43 80";
        break;        
    default:
        doc.chauveheid = " ";
}

};
