How to validate certain field if no value, it will not save and appear msgprint()

Frappe Framework

Guys currently I have custom doctype for general receipt.

I want to make validation if certain field has no value, it will not save and appear msgprint to set the value first. I don’t want to make it mandatory. Because i have fields that depends on status selected.

You can use frappe.throw instead of frappe.msgprint which will not save the doctype.
By the way, where do you want to add the validation- to the client side or the server side?

Okay I never use frappe.throw. But I’ll try it later.
I want to add validation on the client side.
Here my code:

frappe.ui.form.on("General Receipt", "validate", function(frm) {
    if (frm.doc.status === "Received In") {
		if (frm.doc.total_need_to_pay <= frm.doc.payment) {
			msgprint("total need to pay must more than payment");
		}
	}

	if (frm.doc.status === "Sending Out") {
		if (frm.doc.payments === "") {
			msgprint("You must put your value for payment")
		}
	}

    if (frm.doc.date < get_today()) {
        msgprint("You can not select past date in From Date");
        validated = false;
    }
});


// make a field read-only after saving
frappe.ui.form.on("General Receipt", {
    refresh: function(frm) {
    	// make calculation on the fields
    	var a = frm.doc.payments;
		var b = frm.doc.total_need_to_pay - frm.doc.payment;
		frm.set_value("total", a);
		frm.set_value("balance_need_to_pay", b);
		frm.refresh_field("balance_need_to_pay", "total");
	        // use the __islocal value of doc, to check if the doc is saved or not
	    frm.set_df_property("balance_need_to_pay", "read_only", frm.doc.__islocal ? 1 : 1);
		frm.set_df_property("total", "read_only", frm.doc.__islocal ? 1 : 1);
    }
});
