Generally speaking the best way a partnership can deal with this type of thing is to record a withdrawal from the business funds. It's like paying yourself (or your partner) a salary, however, since taxes are paid on these funds already no taxes need be withheld from such a withdrawal. Personal accounts should remain "out" of the equation even if the partner specifically paid "X" amount for personal expenses. Instead, let's say these personal expenses amounted to $5,000, the only transaction that needs to be recorded for this is a withdrawal. Say John pays $5,000 for Bob's personal expenses out of the companies account, a simple recording of this transaction would be something like..

Withdrawal for personal use (Bob) (debit) $5,000

Cash (credit) $5,000

Even a single owner of a business will make a recording for this type of transaction. It is merely a withdrawal of money that he (or each partner) legally own.
