Hi,

lets take an example:

Ther is goods receipt happening on 9th sep, 2008 along with it the invoice also comes dated 8th sep, 2008.

Suppose u post the entry on the same date in ur SAP system the day u recvd the goods, i.e. u credit the vendor on good receipt date, then the document date in this case will be 8th sep, 2008. the posting date will be 9th Sep, 2008.

The entry date is the actual date on which u make entry in SAP the system date. So entry date can be diffrent from posting date in this case

thanx
