A DocType is a fundamental element of any Frappe Framework-based application.

A DocType is a fundamental unit in Frappe Framework applications that defines the structure and presentation of data. It outlines the fields that are used to store data, their relationships, and naming conventions. In the backend, forms like Sales Order, Sales Invoices, and Work Order are added as DocTypes.

Using DocType, you can create personalized forms that can be added to StrideERP based on your needs.
