Hello,

Posting Key : Two-digit numeric key that determines the way line items are posted. This key determines several factors including the: Account type , Type of posting (debit or credit)

Layout of entry screens.

In MM account determination (OMWB) you can see the posting keys defined. Based on the keys maintianed for debit and credit, the system posts the accounting entries.

Account keys in SD are used to post revenues, deductions ..etc to particular G/L accounts which we maintian in VKOA.

Dear Ramesh Kumar

1) Posting Key

Posting is key controls

- which type of accounts can be posted to

- whether the line item is debit or credit

- and the field status of the document line item

2) Account Key

With the three-digit account key, you allocate the revenue account

thanks
