This is the code which is work for me maybe it's good or not but it's working to save the formset_factory instance. i can use forloop for each formset and save...!

views.py


if customer_form.is_valid() and formset.is_valid():

    customer = customer_form.save(commit=False)
    customer.dealer = request.user
    customer.save()

    for form in formset:
        # extract name from each form and save
        title = form.cleaned_data.get('title')
        docs = form.cleaned_data['doc']
        file_data = FileData(title=title, doc=docs, customer=customer)
        # save file data instance
        file_data.save()
