  Functionality: 
  The GCP1 transaction code allows users to define and maintain local posting periods for a company code. This includes setting up the start and end dates of each period, as well as assigning them to the fiscal year. The local posting periods are used to control when postings can be made in the FI-SL module.

  2. Select the company code for which you want to define local posting periods.

  Other Recommendations:

Additionally, it is recommended that users familiarize themselves with other related transaction codes such as GCP2 (FI-SL Local Posting Periods Change) and GCP3 (FI-SL Local Posting Periods Display).
