hi busam nandana,

In general, posting date of the entry file is the modification time (also known as mtime) on the file itself as stored by your file system. Every time you go to edit an entry, it changes the modification time.

You can see this in the following example of output:

willg ~/blogdata/blosxom/site: vi testpost.txt [1]

willg ~/blogdata/blosxom/site: ls -l

total 16

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 764 Jul 20 2003 minoradjustments.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 524 Jul 24 2003 moreminoradjustments.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 284 Aug 15 2004 nomorecalendar.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 59 Mar 21 16:30 testpost.txt [2]

willg ~/blogdata/blosxom/site: vi testpost.txt [3]

willg ~/blogdata/blosxom/site: ls -l

total 16

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 764 Jul 20 2003 minoradjustments.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 524 Jul 24 2003 moreminoradjustments.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 284 Aug 15 2004 nomorecalendar.txt

-rw-rr 1 willg willg 59 Mar 21 16:34 testpost.txt [4]

[1] I create the blog entry testpost.txt using vi (a text editor). The mtime of the file will be the time I last save the file and exit out of vi.

[2] See the mtime on the file is Mar 21 16:30. That's when I last saved the blog entry and exited out of vi.

[3] I discover that I made a spelling mistake in my entry... So I edit it again in vi and fix the mistake. The mtime of the entry has now changed...

[4] Now the mtime of the file is Mar 21 16:34. This is the time that will show up in my blog as the posting date.

And in SAP terms,

Posting Date determines the posting period (the system will enter this date if not provided )

posting periods are used as selection criteria for generating most of the reports in SAP.

u can find more information on posting dates in the below link

Hi Busam Nandana,

Posting Date: Refer to the date on which i want my system to update the account for a particular transaction.

E.g I sent a bill to customer on Ist Jan. Customer sent me the money on 10th Jan. I update in my system the receipt of money on 20th

Here Billing Posting date = Ist Jan

Posting date for expense by customer in "his" SAP system = 10th Jan

Now when i update my system on 20th, it become posting date for "MY" SAP system.

Whenever we have intergration with other module and updating a document result in updating the other modules also and post the revalant data ..it is called posting date.

Here on 20th it will update my revenue account in Finance and hence it is posting date

Also, Note i cancel post with a different date (Than today) also

Hope it helps

Regards,

Sayak
