In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, sub-ledgers are used to manage business operations.

Sub-ledgers include:

Item Ledger

Posting Groups

In Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, Posting Groups are used to "build a bridge" between Business Central sub-ledgers and the general ledger accounts.

A Vendor Posting Group is used to define which accounts payable general ledger account to use when purchasing goods from a Vendor.

Vendor Posting Groups are maintained using the Vendor Posting Groups page.
