To write an ERPNext Server Script for document events safely, use correct frontmatter metadata and clear event mappings for pre-save and post-save lifecycle validation. Following safe scripting patterns prevents common production-time errors across ERPNext v14–v16.

The ERPNext server script sandbox restricts standard imports and limits available frappe.* methods to maintain environment safety. The skill provides reference guidance on these sandbox constraints to help you avoid common import and environment mistakes.

To create a whitelisted API endpoint using Frappe server scripts, you must define the endpoint with safe patterns and proper whitelisting. The skill provides examples of API endpoint configurations alongside typical use cases for secure external access.

ERPNext server script syntax is covered comprehensively for v14 through v16 to ensure compatibility. The reference maps document events, scheduler events, and permission queries across these versions, reducing misconfigurations during platform upgrades.

Frappe permission queries in server scripts are bound by sandbox rules and available frappe.* methods, limiting complex direct database access. Understanding these constraints is necessary to prevent execution failures and ensure scripts follow safe querying patterns.
