Before we begin, let us understand about the need of Lock Period Utility and the usage of this particular activity.
After finalization of books of accounts (Balance Sheet / P&L Account), no changes should be made to the books in that particular period. Also, in some companies quarterly / monthly closing of books of accounts is followed as per company policy so any changes in that period is restricted.
Alignbooks have provided this facility to restrict the transactions (New or Modification) before the mentioned date by any user including Admin User.
