What is the difference between the status posted and paid in the Expenses module?

Once the payment is reimbursed, it will be posted to the journal, so it is paid right?

Then why do we have 2 status posted and paid, instead of just one?

Hi,   The status changes according to the expense paid by(Payment Mode) option which can be set on the expense form.there are two option 1. Company 2.Employee (To reimburse)when the paid by option is employee, the employee should have a related partner and the entry will effect his payable account(Treating just like a vendor). when we post the journal entry the expense state goes to POSTED and when we make the payment it will go to PAID state. 

when we enable the paid by option by Company the expense status directly goes to PAID
