What is the difference between "posted date" and "posting date"?

I am looking at the columns available in SmartList under Purchasing. As I am looking at them, I see a "Posting Date" column option and a "Posted Date" column option. I select both thinking they'd be the same date, but they are not. Posting date is the date of the batch (if a batch was used) or the date of the document (if a batch isn't used), but what the heck is Posted Date and why does that date vary from Posting Date?

I checked the glossary and there wasn't anything about Posted Date. Even when I search the help, everything comes up saying "Posting Date" not "Posted Date".

Please help!

Hi Angela,
