Insert A Document Via Api

You can insert documents via a script using the frappe.get_doc method

Examples:

1. Insert a ToDo

todo = frappe.get_doc({"doctype":"ToDo", "description": "test"}) todo.insert()

2. Insert without the user's permissions being checked:

todo = frappe.get_doc({"doctype":"ToDo", "description": "test"}) todo.insert(ignore_permissions = True)

3. Submit after inserting

todo = frappe.get_doc({"doctype":"ToDo", "description": "test"}) todo.insert(ignore_permissions=True) todo.submit()

4. Insert a document on saving of another document

class MyType(Document): def on_update(self): todo = frappe.get_doc({"doctype":"ToDo", "description": "test"}) todo.insert()

5. Insert a document with child tables:

sales_order = frappe.get_doc({ "doctype": "Sales Order", "company": "_Test Company", "customer": "_Test Customer", "delivery_date": "2013-02-23", "sales_order_details": [ { "item_code": "_Test Item Home Desktop 100", "qty": 10.0, "rate": 100.0, "warehouse": "_Test Warehouse - _TC" } ] }) sales_order.insert()
