    When you are doing “Receive” only, it is adding Quantity to your Inventory (assuming Items). The G/L will be updated if you are using Expected Cost Posting (recommended). There is no Payable balance to a Vendor at this point.

    The Vendor will get a Payable balance when the Purchase Order is Posted as “Invoice”. This could also be done from a Purchase Invoice linked to the Purchase Order’s receipt.

    Here is a Microsoft Learn to help: Purchase items and services in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - Training | Microsoft Learn

    Hopefully this helps you better understand the process.

    Hi
    I hope this can help you, and give you some hints. 
    You need to review about vendor posting groups. 
    Best regards
