Close a monthly time record

Freeze the immutable monthly close of the time record register for a finished (year, month): it snapshots each active employee’s balance totals and absence breakdown/balances (reusing the balance contract, never recomputing) and locks the period against retroactive entries and corrections.

year and month (1-12) are required.
A month that has not ended yet returns 422 in Spanish; a period already closed returns 409. Reopening a previously reopened period re-closes it, keeping its original id.
Returns 201 with the created close and a Location header.

Headers

Idempotency-Key?string

Client-generated opaque key (up to 255 characters; UUID v7 recommended) that makes retries safe: the first response is cached and replayed for repeats without re-executing the mutation. Reusing a key with a different body returns 409 idempotency_key_reused. See the Idempotency guide.

Length1 <= length <= 255

Factuarea-Version?string

Pin the API version (YYYY-MM-DD, Stripe-style date versioning) for this request; omit to use the key's pinned version, or the latest if none. Unsupported version → 400 unsupported_api_version; malformed → 400 parameter_invalid_format. The effective version is echoed in the Factuarea-Version response header. See the Versioning guide.

Formatdate

X-Active-Profile?string

Operate on behalf of a child company (gestoría master key): pass its public id (UUID v7) and the request runs against that child's data without changing the key's scope, tier or environment (omit to use the key's own company). Invalid UUID → 400 parameter_invalid_uuid; unknown or non-owned id → 404 profile_not_found. See the Acting on behalf guide.
