It is possible to assign an expiration date to an obligation. This wouldn't apply to an obligation used to capture amounts owed for a specific tax period. But it could apply to an obligation that covers an ongoing financial relationship, such as a license fee.
For obligations that have an expiration date, an Obligation Expiration background process (batch control SAEXPIRE) is used to automatically 'stop' the obligation when the expiration date arrives.
