## Introduction

In Visma Net, transactions cannot be posted to closed financial periods unless the **Allow posting to closed periods** check box 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 is selected.

## Before you proceed

You might need to take the following steps before you close a financial period in the Supplier ledger:

1. Make sure all the appropriate recurring documents are generated and recurring transactions are posted in the period to be closed.
1. Make sure there are no open documents in the period to be closed. Use the following steps to review open documents in the Supplier ledger workspace:

    1. Go to the [Close financial periods (AP506000)](https://docs.vismasoftware.no/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/close-financial-periods-ap506000/index.md) window.
    1. In the table, select the unlabelled check boxes to specify the financial periods for which you want to review open documents.

        To select all the displayed active periods for closing, click the unlabelled check box in the header row.
    1. Click **Unreleased documents**. The system displays the **Unreleased supplier ledger documents** report.
    1. Review the report to find open documents to be posted in the specified period.
