Please respond asap.

Thanks & Regards,

Rajat W

    Posting date is the date when the order is receiver or invoiced.  Document date is used to calculate the due date usually same as posting date

    The Document Date together with the Payment Term calculates the Due Date. Usually this is the date that is on the received invoice.

    Posting Date is for the period the transaction is posted in, often the same as the Document/Invoice Date. You could however receive an invoice dated on 9-8-18 that concerns costs in a previous period (telephone bill of july), then the Posting Date could be set to 31-7-18. It is then taken into consideration when bookkeeping/accounting produces reports for july...
