In the books of A

1. B A/C dr. (Dr.the receiver)

    To Cash A/C (Cr.what goes out)

2. Interparty transaction

    C A/C dr (which rule to apply ??)

    To B A/C

In the books of B

1. Cash A/C Dr. (Debit what comes in)

    To A A/C    (Credit the giver)

2. Interparty transaction

    A A/C dr (which rule to apply ??)

    To C A/C

In the books of C

B A/C Dr (Debit the receiver/Debit when Liab decreases)

To A A/C (Credit the giver/Credit when Liab increases)

in the books of A B A/C Dr. (asset Dr.when increases) To Cash A/C (asset CR.when decreases) C A/C Dr. (asset Dr.when increases) To B A/C (asset CR when decreases) In the books of B cash A/C Dr.(asset dr. when increases) To A A/C (Liab. cr when increases) A A/C Dr.(Liab Dr.when decreases) To C A/C (asset CR.when decreases) in the books of C B A/C Dr.(Liab Dr.when decreases) To A A/C (liab CR.when increases) I think this is more simple
