Description

The "New layer" wizard allows the creation of layer (e.g. shapefile) without fields. However there should be an ID (or FID) field by default:

The dBASE file must contain at least one field. When you create a new shapefile or dBASE table, an integer ID field is created as a default.

Also, .dbf files are required to have at least one field. If none are created by the application an "FID" field will be automatically created and populated with the record number.
