				<ListItem>SSA ERP must check if the dates that you define for a period in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0270m000" role="session">Generate Periods (tcccp0270m000)</GUIRef> session belong to the defined calendar year.</ListItem>

				<ListItem>SSA ERP can delete periods while their period table is in use.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>Gaps are allowed between two years.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>Once you have defined a period table, you can use the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/tc/ccp/tcccp0170m000" role="session">Periods (tcccp0170m000)</GUIRef> session to define periods for that table. The periods defined for a table share the characteristics defined for the table; for example, the time zone code, and whether modification is allowed.</Paragraph>
