Hi,

Posting date means, your books of accounts will update on that particular date.

Entry date means, on which date you are entering in the system.

For example, 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, now you can understand the difference .

all the best

Hi

Posting Date = The date on which the document is posted

Entry Date = The date on which the document was prepared/entered

entry date

Hi

It is entry date which is latest one. Because posting date may be before or after entry date.
