I used Business Central sub-ledgers to manage business operations.

Sub-ledgers include:

Item Ledger

Vendor Ledger

Detailed Vendor Ledger

Customer Ledger; and

Detailed Customer Ledger

Posting Groups

I used Posting Groups to build a bridge between Business Central sub-ledgers and the general ledger accounts.

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

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