  Functionality: 
  GCP5 allows users to define and maintain local plan periods for the FI-SL. This includes setting up the start and end dates of the plan period, as well as assigning a name and description to it. The local plan period is used to define the period for which data can be posted in the FI-SL.

  2. Select “Create” from the menu bar.

  Other Recommendations: 
  It is important to note that once a local plan period has been created, it cannot be changed or deleted. Therefore, it is important to double check all entries before saving them in order to avoid any errors or mistakes. Additionally, it is recommended that users familiarize themselves with other related SAP transaction codes such as GCP6 (Change Local Plan Periods) and GCP7 (Display Local Plan Periods).
