frappe-core-workflow

What problem does it solve?

Solves the challenge of configuring and enforcing robust, error-free document lifecycles in Frappe by modeling workflows as state machines with states, transitions, and permission rules.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Define states with doc_status and edit permissions to control who can modify documents in each state.
• Configure transitions with actions, next_state, and access control to guide document flow and prevent invalid moves.
• Evaluate transition conditions using document fields and Python expressions to support complex routing.
• Apply workflows to documents via API or UI integrations, ensuring consistent state progression and automatic auditing.

Quick Start

Create a new Workflow document for your DocType, define the initial and target states, add transitions, and then apply the workflow to a document.
