# Close financial periods (AP506000)

Last modified February 19, 2026

> You can use this window to close active financial periods in the Supplier ledger workspace.


This topic provides information about the elements in this window in Visma Net, such as fields, field values, buttons, and check boxes.

## Introduction

+ You can close a financial period in the General ledger workspace only if it has been closed in the Supplier ledger, Customer ledger, Cash management, Inventory, and Fixed assets workspaces.
+ When you close a given financial period, all preceding active periods will be closed as well (if they have not already been closed).

Generally, posting transactions to closed periods is not allowed.
To allow posting to
closed periods, select the **Allow posting to closed periods**
option in the [General ledger preferences (GL102000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/general-ledger-preferences-gl102000/index.md) window.
