Hi

I hope this can help you, and give you some hints.

You need to review about vendor posting groups.

The Vendor Posting Groups determines the Payables Account - Dynamics 365 Business Central (usedynamics.com)

The Posting Groups used on Vendors - Dynamics 365 Business Central (usedynamics.com)

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.
