Thanks for the detailed explanation.

Sometimes there are custom queries in (queries.py) that do not honour search_fields. This needs to be fixed in the product.

Hello,

@rmehta Thanks for quick reply.

I got credit days in autocomplete box by way you suggested. But i want to know which way supplier_query function of query.py file would be called from purchase order doctype .

Also i didn’t understand first line of supplier_query function. from where supp_master_name is set

eg : frappe.defaults.get_user_default(“supp_master_name”)

Also i have attached screenshot of supplier_query function.

So please assist me as i have to clear my doubts regarding autocomplete box

Thanks,
Harsh Mehta

If you have doubt you can also login to bench via your console and execute the line

bench --site [yoursite]
>>> import frappe.defaults
>>> frappe.defaults.get_user_default("supp_master_name")
