Posting of invoices ensures that the transaction has been recorded in the Finance general ledger of the company. If the organisation operates on a cash basis or on an accrual basis, the invoices and payment can be posted at any given time. Whenever invoices are posted, accounts receivable and sales-related ledger entries are created in the system. Similarly, when payments are posted, payment-related debit and credit ledger entries are created in the system automatically. One must ensure that all invoices are posted with a date for the current year to ensure the accounts receivable are created for the correct period of the year.
