Morphology

unposted = posted (semi-transparent) = un + post + ed

Morphologically transparent (un- + posted), but the sense relies on the specialized accounting meaning 'to post' (enter in a ledger), which may not be known to average learners.

Etymology

Unposted in accounting is made from the part un- 'not' and post 'to put into a record', similar to how you 'post' a payment to an account. So in finance unposted means 'not yet entered' or 'not recorded'.
