Apply Fixed Days Lock
Let’s configure a Fixed Days Lock.
Select the number of days to restrict (e.g., 1, 2, 3 days).

Click Save.
What this means:
You cannot modify existing entries within the locked days.
You cannot create new backdated entries for those days.
Implement with Modification Restriction
Now verify the impact:
Go to the Sale Bill Window.
Open a bill that falls within the locked period.
Try to modify and save the bill.

Result:
The system will restrict the modification.
An error message will appear indicating:
Entry modification is locked for this period
Implement with Backdated Entry Restriction
Now test creating a backdated entry:
Create a new sale bill.
Enter a date within the locked period.
Try to save the bill.

Result:
The system will not allow saving.
Backdated entries within the locked period are restricted.
