+
+## FEATURE FOLDER CONVENTION
+
+All generated customization code should be saved to a feature folder. This keeps all work for a feature organized in one place.
+
+### Before Writing Any Files
+
+1. **Check for existing feature folder:**
+   - Ask: "Is there a feature folder for this work? If so, what's the path?"
+
+2. **If no folder exists, ask user:**
+   - "Where should I create the feature folder?"
+   - "What should I name this feature?" (use kebab-case)
+
+3. **Create subfolder structure if needed:**
+   ```bash
+   mkdir -p <feature>/backend/{overrides,setup}
+   mkdir -p <feature>/frontend/form
+   ```
+
+### File Locations
+- Override classes: `<feature>/backend/overrides/<doctype>.py`
+- Custom fields setup: `<feature>/backend/setup/custom_fields.py`
+- Hooks additions: `<feature>/backend/hooks_additions.py`
+- Client scripts: `<feature>/frontend/form/<doctype>.js`
+
+**Note:** Do NOT create `<feature>/fixtures/` by default. Only use fixtures if user explicitly requests.
+
+### Example
+User wants to customize Sales Invoice:
+1. Check/create: `./features/sales-invoice-customization/`
+2. Save override to: `./features/sales-invoice-customization/backend/overrides/sales_invoice.py`
+3. Save custom fields to: `./features/sales-invoice-customization/backend/setup/custom_fields.py`
+4. Document hooks.py additions in: `./features/sales-invoice-customization/backend/hooks_additions.py`
+
+### Note on hooks.py
+- Do NOT modify the main hooks.py directly
+- Create a `hooks_additions.py` file documenting what needs to be added
+- User will manually merge into main hooks.py after review
+
+---
+
+## CUSTOM FIELDS METHOD SELECTION
+
+Before creating custom fields, check which method the project already uses.
+
+### Step 1: Check for Existing Methods
+
+**Check in this order:**
+```bash
+# Check for custom.json
+find . -name "custom.json" -o -name "*custom*.json"
+
+# Check hooks.py for after_migrate
+grep -r "after_migrate" hooks.py
+
+# Check for setup.py or install.py
+find . -name "setup.py" -o -name "install.py"
+```
+
+### Step 2: Ask User for Preference
+
+**If `custom.json` exists:**
+- Ask: "I found `custom.json` at [path]. Should I add custom fields there?"
+
+**If `after_migrate` exists:**
+- Ask: "I found existing `after_migrate` hook. Should I add custom fields there?"
+
+**If no existing method found, ask:**
+- "How would you like to create custom fields?"
+  1. **after_migrate script** (Recommended) - Runs on every migration
+  2. **install.py** - Runs only on app install
+  3. **Fixtures** - Export/import JSON files (only if you need this)
+
+### Step 3: Implement Based on Selection
+
+**Option 1: after_migrate (RECOMMENDED)**
+```python
+# hooks.py
+after_migrate = ["myapp.setup.after_migrate"]
+
+# myapp/setup.py
+import frappe
+from frappe.custom.doctype.custom_field.custom_field import create_custom_fields
+
+
+def after_migrate():
+    """
+    Create or update custom fields after migration.
+
+    This ensures custom fields are always present and up-to-date
+    across all environments after running bench migrate.
+    """
+    create_custom_fields(get_custom_fields())
+
+
+def get_custom_fields():
+    """
+    Return dictionary of custom fields to create.
+
+    Returns:
+        dict: DocType name mapped to list of field definitions
+    """
+    return {
+        "Sales Invoice": [
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_reference",
+                "label": "Custom Reference",
+                "fieldtype": "Data",
+                "insert_after": "naming_series",
+            },
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_section",
+                "label": "Custom Section",
+                "fieldtype": "Section Break",
+                "insert_after": "customer",
+            }
+        ],
+        "Sales Invoice Item": [
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_cost_center",
+                "label": "Cost Center",
+                "fieldtype": "Link",
+                "options": "Cost Center",
+                "insert_after": "income_account",
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+```
+
+**Option 2: custom.json (if project already uses this)**
+- Add fields to existing `custom.json` file
+- Follow existing file structure and conventions
+
+**Option 3: Fixtures (ONLY if user explicitly requests)**
+```python
+# hooks.py
+fixtures = [
+    {"dt": "Custom Field", "filters": [["module", "=", "My App"]]}
+]
+```
+Then export with: `bench --site <site> export-fixtures --app my_app`
+
+---
+
+## CRITICAL CODING STANDARDS
+
+Follow these patterns consistently for all ERPNext customization:
+
+### Override Class Pattern (ALWAYS use for extending stock DocTypes)
+```python
+# myapp/overrides/sales_invoice.py
+import frappe
+from erpnext.accounts.doctype.sales_invoice.sales_invoice import SalesInvoice
+from frappe.utils import getdate, flt
+from typing import Dict, Any, Optional
+
+
+class CustomSalesInvoice(SalesInvoice):
+    def validate(self):
+        """Extend validation with custom logic."""
+        super().validate()
+        self.custom_validation()
+        self.calculate_custom_amounts()
+
+    def on_submit(self):
+        """Extend submit with custom logic."""
+        super().on_submit()
+        self.sync_custom_data()
+        self.create_custom_entries()
+
+    def on_cancel(self):
+        """Extend cancel with custom logic."""
+        super().on_cancel()
+        self.reverse_custom_entries()
+
+    def custom_validation(self):
+        """Custom validation rules."""
+        if self.custom_field_1 and not self.custom_field_2:
+            frappe.throw("Custom Field 2 is required when Custom Field 1 is set")
+
+    def calculate_custom_amounts(self):
+        """Calculate custom totals from items."""
+        self.custom_total = sum(flt(item.custom_amount) for item in self.items)
+
+    def invalidate_cache(self):
+        """Invalidate cached data when document changes."""
+        cache_key = f"myapp:invoice_data_{self.customer}"
+        if frappe.cache().get_value(cache_key):
+            frappe.cache().delete_value(cache_key)
+```
+
+### hooks.py Override Configuration
+```python
+# hooks.py
+override_doctype_class = {
+    "Sales Invoice": "myapp.overrides.sales_invoice.CustomSalesInvoice",
+    "Sales Order": "myapp.overrides.sales_order.CustomSalesOrder",
+    "Student": "myapp.overrides.student.CustomStudent"
+}
+```
+
+### Error Logging (ALWAYS use frappe.log_error, NEVER frappe.logger)
+```python
+# Pattern 1: Title + Message with traceback (preferred)
+frappe.log_error(
+    title="Invoice Processing Error",
+    message=f"Failed to process invoice {doc.name}: {str(e)}\n{frappe.get_traceback()}"
+)
+
+# Pattern 2: Standard form
+frappe.log_error(
+    title="Error Title",
+    message=f"Error details: {str(e)}\n{frappe.get_traceback()}"
+)
+```
+
+### Doc Events Pattern (for hooks without class override)
+```python
+# hooks.py
+doc_events = {
+    "Sales Invoice": {
+        "validate": "myapp.overrides.sales_invoice.validate",
+        "on_submit": "myapp.overrides.sales_invoice.on_submit",
+        "on_cancel": "myapp.overrides.sales_invoice.on_cancel"
+    }
+}
+
+# myapp/overrides/sales_invoice.py
+import frappe
+from frappe import _
+from typing import Dict, Any
+
+
+def validate(doc, method):
+    """
+    Called during Sales Invoice validation.
+
+    Args:
+        doc: The document being validated
+        method: The method name that triggered this hook
+    """
+    try:
+        validate_custom_rules(doc)
+        calculate_custom_amounts(doc)
+    except Exception as e:
+        frappe.log_error(
+            message=f"Validation error for {doc.name}: {str(e)}",
+            title="Sales Invoice Validation Error"
+        )
+        raise
+
+
+def on_submit(doc, method):
+    """Called when Sales Invoice is submitted."""
+    try:
+        create_custom_entries(doc)
+        notify_custom_users(doc)
+        frappe.db.commit()
+    except Exception as e:
+        frappe.db.rollback()
+        frappe.log_error(
+            message=f"Submit error for {doc.name}: {str(e)}",
+            title="Sales Invoice Submit Error"
+        )
+        raise
+
+
+def on_cancel(doc, method):
+    """Called when Sales Invoice is cancelled."""
+    try:
+        reverse_custom_entries(doc)
+    except Exception as e:
+        frappe.log_error(
+            message=f"Cancel error for {doc.name}: {str(e)}",
+            title="Sales Invoice Cancel Error"
+        )
+        raise
+```

+## Custom Fields
+
+**NOTE:** See "CUSTOM FIELDS METHOD SELECTION" section above for decision flow.
+
+### Via after_migrate (RECOMMENDED)
+
+This ensures custom fields are always present after running `bench migrate`:
+
+```python
+# hooks.py
+after_migrate = ["myapp.setup.after_migrate"]
+
+# myapp/setup.py
+import frappe
+from frappe.custom.doctype.custom_field.custom_field import create_custom_fields
+
+
+def after_migrate():
+    """
+    Create or update custom fields after migration.
+
+    This ensures custom fields are always present and up-to-date.
+    """
+    create_custom_fields(get_custom_fields())
+
+
+def get_custom_fields():
+    """
+    Return dictionary of custom fields to create.
+
+    Returns:
+        dict: DocType name mapped to list of field definitions
+    """
+    return {
+        "Sales Invoice": [
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_reference",
+                "label": "Custom Reference",
+                "fieldtype": "Data",
+                "insert_after": "naming_series",
+                "print_hide": 1
+            },
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_section",
+                "label": "Custom Section",
+                "fieldtype": "Section Break",
+                "insert_after": "customer"
+            },
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_field_1",
+                "label": "Custom Field 1",
+                "fieldtype": "Link",
+                "options": "My DocType",
+                "insert_after": "custom_section"
+            }
+        ],
+        "Sales Invoice Item": [
+            {
+                "fieldname": "custom_cost_center",
+                "label": "Cost Center",
+                "fieldtype": "Link",
+                "options": "Cost Center",
+                "insert_after": "income_account"
+            }
+        ]
+    }
+```
+
+### Via Fixtures (Only if explicitly requested)
+
+**Only use fixtures if user specifically asks for this approach:**
+
+```python
+# hooks.py
+fixtures = [
+    {"dt": "Custom Field", "filters": [["module", "=", "My App"]]}
+]
+```
+
+Export with:
+```bash
+bench --site <site> export-fixtures --app my_app
+```
+
+## Hooks.py Configuration
+
+### Document Events
+```python
+doc_events = {
+    # Specific DocType
+    "Sales Invoice": {
+        "validate": "my_app.hooks.validate_sales_invoice",
+        "on_submit": "my_app.hooks.on_submit_sales_invoice"
+    },
+    # All DocTypes
+    "*": {
+        "on_update": "my_app.hooks.log_all_updates"
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Override DocType Class
+```python
+override_doctype_class = {
+    "Sales Invoice": "my_app.overrides.CustomSalesInvoice"
+}
+```
+
+### Override Whitelisted Functions
+```python
+override_whitelisted_methods = {
+    "erpnext.selling.doctype.sales_order.sales_order.make_sales_invoice":
+        "my_app.overrides.make_sales_invoice"
+}
+```
+
+### Jinja Methods
+```python
+jinja = {
+    "methods": [
+        "my_app.utils.get_custom_data"
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+### Scheduler Jobs
+```python
+scheduler_events = {
+    "daily": [
+        "my_app.tasks.daily_custom_task"
+    ],
+    "hourly": [
+        "my_app.tasks.sync_external_data"
+    ],
+    "cron": {
+        "0 10-17 * * *": [
+            "my_app.tasks.business_hours_task"
+        ]
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Boot Session
+```python
+boot_session = "my_app.boot.boot_session"
+```
+
+```python
+# my_app/boot.py
+def boot_session(bootinfo):
+    bootinfo.custom_settings = frappe.get_single("My Settings")
+```
+
+## Fixtures
+
+### Export Configuration
+```python
+# hooks.py
+fixtures = [
+    # All documents of a DocType
+    "Custom Field",
+    "Property Setter",
+
+    # With filters
+    {
+        "dt": "Custom Field",
+        "filters": [["module", "=", "My App"]]
+    },
+    {
+        "dt": "Property Setter",
+        "filters": [["module", "=", "My App"]]
+    },
+    {
+        "dt": "Role",
+        "filters": [["name", "in", ["Custom Role 1", "Custom Role 2"]]]
+    },
+
+    # Specific documents
+    {
+        "dt": "Workflow",
+        "filters": [["name", "=", "Custom Sales Order Workflow"]]
+    }
+]
+```
+
+### Common Fixtures
+- Custom Field
+- Property Setter
+- Client Script
+- Server Script
+- Print Format
+- Workflow
+- Role
+- Custom DocPerm
+
+## Property Setters
+
+Modify stock DocType properties without changing core:
+
+```python
+# Via fixtures or API
+property_setter = {
+    "doctype": "Property Setter",
+    "doctype_or_field": "DocField",
+    "doc_type": "Sales Invoice",
+    "field_name": "customer",
+    "property": "reqd",
+    "value": "0",
+    "property_type": "Check"
+}
+```
+
+Common properties to modify:
+- `reqd` - Make field required/optional
+- `hidden` - Hide field
+- `read_only` - Make read-only
+- `default` - Change default value
+- `options` - Change select options
+- `in_list_view` - Show/hide in list
+- `allow_on_submit` - Allow edit after submit
+
+## Workflows
+
+### Create Custom Workflow
+```python
+workflow = {
+    "doctype": "Workflow",
+    "name": "Custom Sales Order Approval",
+    "document_type": "Sales Order",
+    "is_active": 1,
+    "workflow_state_field": "workflow_state",
+    "states": [
+        {"state": "Draft", "doc_status": 0, "allow_edit": "Sales User"},
+        {"state": "Pending Approval", "doc_status": 0, "allow_edit": "Sales Manager"},
+        {"state": "Approved", "doc_status": 1, "allow_edit": "Sales Manager"},
+        {"state": "Rejected", "doc_status": 0, "allow_edit": "Sales Manager"}
+    ],
+    "transitions": [
+        {"state": "Draft", "action": "Submit for Approval", "next_state": "Pending Approval", "allowed": "Sales User"},
+        {"state": "Pending Approval", "action": "Approve", "next_state": "Approved", "allowed": "Sales Manager"},
+        {"state": "Pending Approval", "action": "Reject", "next_state": "Rejected", "allowed": "Sales Manager"}
+    ]
+}
+```
+
+## Common Customization Patterns
+
+### Auto-set values from linked document
+```python
+def validate(doc, method):
+    """Auto-populate fields from customer."""
+    if doc.customer:
+        # Batch fetch multiple fields at once (efficient)
+        customer_data = frappe.db.get_value(
+            "Customer", doc.customer,
+            ["territory", "credit_limit", "custom_sales_channel"],
+            as_dict=True
+        )
+        if customer_data:
+            doc.custom_territory = customer_data.territory
+            doc.custom_credit_limit = customer_data.credit_limit
+            doc.custom_sales_channel = customer_data.custom_sales_channel
+```
+
+### Custom validation
+```python
+def validate(doc, method):
+    """Custom validation with proper error handling."""
+    if doc.grand_total > 100000 and not doc.manager_approval:
+        frappe.throw(_("Orders above 100,000 require Manager Approval"))
+
+    if not doc.custom_approval_status:
+        frappe.throw(_("Please set Approval Status"))
+```
+
+### Auto-create linked document
+```python
+def on_submit(doc, method):
+    """Create task on invoice submission."""
+    try:
+        task = frappe.get_doc({
+            "doctype": "Task",
+            "subject": f"Follow up: {doc.name}",
+            "reference_type": doc.doctype,
+            "reference_name": doc.name
+        })
+        task.insert(ignore_permissions=True)
+        frappe.db.commit()
+    except Exception as e:
+        frappe.log_error(
+            message=f"Failed to create task for {doc.name}: {str(e)}",
+            title="Task Creation Error"
+        )
+```
+
+### Notify on condition
+```python
+def on_update(doc, method):
+    """Send notification for critical status."""
+    if doc.status == "Critical":
+        try:
+            frappe.sendmail(
+                recipients=get_managers(),
+                subject=f"Critical: {doc.name}",
+                message=f"Document {doc.name} marked as critical"
+            )
+        except Exception as e:
+            frappe.log_error(
+                message=f"Failed to send notification for {doc.name}: {str(e)}",
+                title="Notification Error"
+            )
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Never modify core ERPNext files** - Use hooks and custom fields
+2. **Use fixtures for portability** - Export all customizations
+3. **Namespace custom fields** - Prefix with `custom_` or app name
+4. **Test on copy of production** - Before deploying changes
+5. **Document customizations** - Keep README updated
+6. **Version control fixtures** - Commit JSON files
+7. **Use Property Setters** - For modifying existing field properties
+8. **Handle upgrades carefully** - Test after ERPNext updates
+9. **Follow ERPNext patterns** - Match coding style
+10. **Use frappe.log_error** for error logging (NEVER frappe.logger)
+11. **Batch fetch values** with `as_dict=True` for efficiency
+12. **Use override_doctype_class** for comprehensive customization
+13. **Handle exceptions properly** with try/except and logging
