The way to do this would be to create partners as employees and issue them payslips as usual.

If partner doesn’t get paid their salary, you can make a journal entry to debit their `Employee clearing account` and credit their `Capital account`.

My preferred method would be as follows:

1. Create a Capital sub-account under Settings for the partners salary.
2. Create an Expense account for the partners salary.
3. Create a periodic Journal Entry for the partners salary by debiting the Expense account and crediting the Capital sub-account.
4. When the partners salary is paid, allocate the payment to the Drawings sub-account.
