in accounting software make an indirect expense account named as "net profit" and use journal to debit net profit and credit capital account.

In this case, Partners Capital account is prepared. Debiting the profit n loss A/c, the profit will be credited to Partners Cap A/c in the ratio as prescribed.

First create Profit/loss Appropriation A/c. Debit the same while crediting the amount in partners capital a/c in profit or loss sharing ratio.

P&L Appropriation A/c or P&L A/c and other ways can also be there.Such as from P&L A/c the surplus or deficit can be either transferred to partners cap A/c(in their profit sharing ratio)in case of partnership or else from P&L Appropraition account can be made for appropriation of profits (in their profit sharing ratio)among partners. But atlast the impact will be on Capital Accounts in Balance Sheet. Also there is also not a compulsion to follow a particular way.
