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

    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.

    Hopefully this helps you better understand the process.
