Beyond your daily closing, Sweb lets you close the month and the year from **Finance > Closings**. These higher-level closings seal your totals for the whole period into the same NF525 security chain, but they stay blocked as long as a daily closing is missing underneath.

## Why close beyond the day

The daily closing locks each day individually. Monthly and yearly closings do the same at a larger scale: they aggregate your sales, VAT, and per-artist breakdown across the whole period, and seal that total into the fiscal security chain, exactly like a Z report does for a single day.

## What's blocked upstream

You can't close a month if a day within it doesn't have its own closing yet, and you can't close a year if a month is missing. The confirmation button stays disabled until all these lower-level closings are done. This is intentional: it guarantees no gap can slip into the NF525 chain.

## View a periodic closing

From the **Finance > Closings** list, filter by type (daily, monthly, yearly) to find the period you're after. Each closing shows a status, balanced or with a discrepancy, and you can open its detail to review the full summary: pre-tax/VAT/total amounts, per-artist breakdown, and, where relevant, the period's deposits and credit notes.

## Edge cases

**You want to close the month but the button stays grayed out.** Check that no daily closing is missing for that month, they all need to be done before you can move to the monthly level.

**A daily closing is missing from the month and you don't know which one.** The number of missing closings is shown when you attempt the monthly closing, which helps you spot the day or days to handle.

**You want to export your accounting for the closed period.** Closings feed your exports directly, see [How do I export my accounting (FEC, CSV)?](/en/pro/invoices-accounting/accounting-export).

Once created, a periodic closing is just as immutable as a daily Z report: it can never be edited, which is what guarantees the integrity of your data over time.
