Hi Praghnesh,

Please go through the below documentation on posting keys -

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/96/8b3ee943ce11d189ee0000e81ddfac/frameset.htm]

In a nut shell, the different posting keys determines the rules for posting -

1. which account types can be posted - GL/Vendor/Customer/Asset etc.

2. whether the line item is a debit or credit

3. the status of the various fields in the screen, whether they are optional/mandatory/hidden etc.

Regards,

Hi ,

Posting key is nothing but 2 digit numerical key.In transaction level we can use as Debit or Credit.

Posting key controls the screen layout at the time of posting transaction data.So different posting keys for different layout will come.
