Dear Ashutosh,
Gross Posting:
If you post the gross amount of an invoice, the system ignores the cash discount when you enter invoice;it post the cash discount amount to "cash discount" account at the time of payment.
Net posting: If you post the net amount of an invoice,the system pst the cash discount clearing account to the stock or cost account.This means the system only post the amount reduced by the cash discount amount to stock account/cost account.The cost account is cleared at the time of payment.
Whether an invoice is posted gross or net depends on the DOCUMENT TYPE.
In price determination subtotal is used if you want to make a total of various pricing conditions for Ex to calculate Net Price  a subtotal of Gross Price + Discount + Surcharge will be done & Net Effective price will be Net price + Delivery cost + tax for ex.
Currency setting:
To enter an invoice in foreign currency you must do following setting in the system
1. You must define the currency you are using to enter the invoice.
2. You must configure an exchange rate for the given currency & the local currency in customizing.Ypu can define diffrent exchange rate for diffrent time period.
I hope this will give you idea on both terms.
