Main Features of the Code:
Fields Added:
start_date: Start of the period (e.g., for cut-off accounting). end_date: End of the period.
Validation Constraint:
The method _check_cutoff_dates automatically runs when either start_date or end_date changes. It checks that start_date is not after end_date.
If the validation fails, it raises a ValidationError and prevents saving the record.
Why This Is Useful:
In accounting cut-off scenarios, having incorrect start/end dates can lead to: Wrong period allocation
Misstatements in revenue or expenses
Confusion in audits
This validation makes sure your data stays accurate and meaningful.
