Close financial periods (CA506000)

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

You can use this window to close active financial periods in the Cash management workspace as a required stage of closing a period in the General ledger workspace.
The financial period can be closed in the General ledger workspace only if it is closed in the Supplier ledger, Customer ledger, Inventory, and Cash management workspaces.
