We can guess the question arises while trying to establish partner basis. Here is an article that seems to capture the issues pretty well.
If you own an interest in a partnership, each year you receive a K-1 form on which partnership activity is reported to you (the partner) for your share of that year’s activity.? Within the K-1 there is a section that shows each partner’s share of liabilities for that year.? There are three different types of liabilities that are allocated: nonrecourse, qualified nonrecourse financing and recourse.? These liabilities are important components of calculating a partner’s basis both for making tax free distributions and also for deducting partnership losses (at-risk).? Internal Revenue Code Sect
Here is a more scholarly article (there are plenty to be found, very easily) that indicates payables aren't even considered a liability for a cash-basis partnership.
