Utilities

Portal User — the shared child table that grants portal access to a Customer or Supplier.

Cross-cutting helper entities such as SMS Center and video conferencing links.

What it does

Utilities is a catch-all for cross-cutting helpers that belong to no business module. In the current scope it contains exactly one entity: Portal User, the child table that lists which framework Users may sign in to the customer or supplier portal on behalf of a party. It has no list view of its own — it is only ever edited inside its parent.

Key features

  • Portal User — a single user link, attached to both Customer and Supplier via their portal_users table.
  • Two parents — one of the few child tables shared by more than one parent doctype.
  • Portal access — a party’s portal users see only that party’s orders, invoices and shipments.
