ModelSerializer used in case you need to perform some action on model. ModelSerializer automatically create fields that correspond to the Model fields. Since you don't have any model you can use normal Serializer class, in this case you dont need to specify model:

class CustomSerializer(serializers.Serializer):
    type_report = serializers.CharField(max_length=23)
    client_token = serializers.CharField(max_length=128)
    year_p_start = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    month_p_start = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    day_p_start = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    year_p_end = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    month_p_end = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)
    day_p_end = serializers.DecimalField(max_digits=10, decimal_places=2)

@nesalexy are you sure you are using Serializer instead of ModelSerializer? Nevermind you can specify Meta with only fields attribute for Serializer class. See updates.
