Quick Summary
This discussion addresses how to account for funds received from a future partner before a formal partnership is established. It explores whether such amounts should be treated as a loan or capital introduction. The consensus is to clarify the nature of these payments, especially vendor payments made by the incoming partner, and to account for them as a loan to the firm if the vendor will continue with the new partnership, or settle them before formation otherwise.

I think it should be treated as loan before or the partner paid the amount should be treated as introduce of capital
Treated same as you said
You need to first settle the amounts between both before entering into partnership as the amounts taken from other person has no relation with the partnership business.
How about the payment to vendors directly made by other person from his bank account before entering into partnership. What if it is shown as loan before and shown as capital on entering into partnership
If the vendor's continue to be the vendor's of the new partnership firm then whatever is paid by the the other person upto formation of the partnership firm can be treated as loan to firm and after that vendor can be paid from business account of firm
if vendor would not be of the newly constituted firm then it needs to be settled before entering the partnership.
