This module adds **Service Start Date** and **Service End Date** fields
to contract lines, allowing you to track the actual service period
independently from the billing dates.

Use Cases / Context
===================

Contract lines in the base contract module carry a single start date and
end date that drive the recurring invoicing schedule. There is no
dedicated field to record the period during which the service is
actually delivered, which is often distinct from the billing period.
This module fills that gap.

Usage
=====

On a contract line form, a new **Service Dates** group is displayed in
the **Recurrence** tab, below the contract line start and end dates:

- **Service Start Date**: start of the service period. Populated
  automatically from the contract line start date and kept in sync with
  it unless manually overridden.
- **Service End Date**: end of the service period. Populated
  automatically from the contract line end date and kept in sync with it
  unless manually overridden.

Once a service date is set to a value different from its corresponding
contract line date, it is considered decoupled and will no longer be
updated automatically when the contract line date changes.
