Hello,

Models are called DocType and DocType are made of fields call DocField.

@rmehta @anand
can you please more detail about Document type?
i.e Master = ?; Transaction = ? ; System = ?; Others = ?

Thanks

  • Master = Documents that will be used in transactions like Item, Customer, Account, Company, etc.
  • Transaction = Documents that will be created frequently and that usually are tracked using a date and/or time, and have a sequential numbering.
  • System = Documents that affect the functioning of Frappe as a system like User, Global Defaults, Stock Settings etc.
  • Others = Those that don’t fall in the above categories like Production Planning Tool.

@anand great thanks for your explanation.
Hope I can go further more :smile:

Glad to help. :smile:

what was custom? checkbox used for ?

Yes I have been wondering what the custom? checkbox is for as well.

Custom is unused as of now. We plan to allow Custom DocTypes in v5 - maybe will use for that.

Hi metha,
