Data integrity - disallow editing of older request data
I would like to see some more controls regarding historical data.
For example, I think it would be helpful to have a setting creating rules to help alleviate user errors (miskey, accidents, etc.). I would like to see the ability to "close" a period in time, allowing only certain types of input from that date forward. This would allow an admin to decide: okay 2016 is "closed", we don't expect any more payments to happen with 2016 dates and no more decision with 2016 dates. With that, the system would disallow a decision date or payment date prior to 1/1/2017 to be inputted in the system.
This is coming from an accountant's perspective, and I liken it to controls that are in an accounting system. Once a period is "closed" it needs to be re-opened in order to edit older information. Happy to discuss further!
Thanks for considering!
