fix: Add non-existent Item check and cleanup in `validate_for_items`

- Added a validation if invalid item code ia passed via data import/API, etc.
- Used DB APIs instead of raw sql
- Separated checks into separate functions
- Added return types to functions
- Better variable naming and removed redundant utils import in function
