No they can't
The opposite entry to payables is bank,
You debit P&L and credit payables on receipt of goods in. Taking time to pay the supplier does not change that initial Debit. you could have 30 days Payable terms or 90, the P&L would be exactly the same (unless they offer discounts for prompt payment), the net difference is bank, which is would roll up into net debt anyway.
