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()
