Add setting to enable/disable timesheet approval and disapproval when period is closed (#21423) New New

Figure 1 - "Block on Closed Periods" setting 

Figure 2 - Timesheet approval module

Cause

Currently, when the period is closed, the users cannot change their timesheets but approvers can still approve and reject the hours.

Some clients do not want any changes on timesheets once the period is closed, and that includes approvals. Currently approvers are still able to change the timesheet status.
