What is posting key and what does it control?

Answer Posted / sarita pandey

Posting keys in SAP R3 FI work at the line item level. Posting keys serve three main functions in SAP accounting

- Posting keys control as to which type of account the line item in the document will be posted to.
- Secondly, posting keys control whether the line item will be posted as a debit or a credit.
- Laslty, posting keys help in determining field statuses for additional details.


posting key values depend upon the area in SAP FI.

General Ledger Transactions - "Debit" is posting key 40 and "Credit" is posting key 50.
Customer Invoices - "Debit" is posting key 01 and "Credit" is posting key 50.
Vendor Invoices - "Debit" is posting key 40 and "Credit" is posting key 31.
