Appears in a document which describes a supplier evaluation tool. "Buchungsdatum" refers to when a delivery is received at the warehouse and subsequently registered in the system.
Some context snippets:
Die Ware wird aber erst bei der KG (oder Warehouse) gebucht.
Nummer des Materialbelegs, mit dem eine Warenbewegung gebucht wurde.
Attempted translation:
posting date (and also "post" for "buchen")
I also considered "entry date"

This reference clearly shows an SAP screen for a goods receipt with the posting date.
Sonja: to post someting in the books simply means to enter it - not to send it, and that is the case here. The receipt of the goods (possibly on another date) is being posted in the books.

: ich dachte, "post" ist eher wenn es abgeschickt wird, nicht empfangen

Comment: "Thanks - also for reference. The context also refers to an SAP system so I think this is the one to go for."

Date of delivery
is clearly what is meant, and the term I think I'd use. After all, the "date of entry" might be the following day - does it matter, though?

Comment: "Thanks very much. The translation which uses post would seem to be the one to use. So that would be "date received/incoming goods posted" in this particular case? I prefer the more succinct other answer but this is obviously more precise and it confirms the other answer."

entry date
Hi,
I think your second idea "entry date" is very good. I found this term in similar context in another software tools. Posting date somehow reminds me of banking terms...but I might be mistaken.
