The disadvantage of a "Payable" is the fact that it is a liability to the company, or money that they owe. Having "payables" lowers the Owners Equity of a business.
One advantage however is this, if I want to buy a used car for my business that is going to cost say $4,000.
1. I can either pay cash out and pay off the car or
2. I can pay "payments" of say $400 a month for 10 months. The advantage of doing this is I have a better chance of having "income" from my business to cover the monthly payment rather than spending the entire $4,000 in cash and shorting my cash account of a liquid asset I could use in order to operate my business effectively.
