Things I've learned from years of working with Microsoft Dynamics GP.
Microsoft Dynamics GP Posting Dates (Transaction vs. GL)
What are there 2 dates in Dynamics GP on all transaction except the General Ledger? I answer this question for you, along with the why’s and wherefores? The dates can be confusing, but this video helps you understand the difference between the 2 dates and how they are used.

Hi, I stumbled across your video about posting dates vs. transaction dates and I found it to be extremely helpful! So from there I tracked you down here… I’m still not having luck even though I’ve saved the setup changes. However, I am working within our test company, I don’t know if that may have an affect on saving the set up for posting. Please let me know if you can help me.
No, the working in the test company should not matter. Can you email me a screen shot of the Posting Setup screen for the batch you are trying to change? Belinda@saci.com.
