[Bidoul, Stéphane <stephane.bidoul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you all for the feedback and Frédéric for the detailed explanation on
the functional background for this constraint.

I'll consider preparing a merge proposal to make the check optional
depending on a flag on the journal (Check Date in Fiscal Year, similar to
the existing Check Date in Period).

Best regards,
