# Close the current batch for a processing terminal.

Close the current batch for a processing terminal.

1. Manually close the open batch on the processing terminal. No request body is sent; the terminal is identified by the path parameter and the request is made idempotent by the Idempotency-Key header (a missing header returns 400). The gateway returns 202 with the cut-off time and time zone at which it closes the batch.
