hi,

Posting Date: Date which is used when entering the document in Financial Accounting or Controlling. The posting date can differ from both the entry date and the doc date.

Document Date: The document date is the date on which the original document was issued. Ex: Inv date, Bill date etc.,

For Eg if you would like to post a document for 31-08-2008 on today.

In this case posting date: 31-08-2008

entry date :08-09-2008.

Hope, this will helps you out...
