Sorry, but your real problem is accounting, not gnucash. In your image, 
am I correct that you don't know the ACCOUNTS that would be debited and 
credited? (and again sorry, but I consider the supposedly "user 
Friendly" column titles can be confusing for those new to bookkeeping)

Almost all folks here doing personal, sole proprietorship, and 
organizational. bookkeeping. Gnucash can be used for partnerships and 
corporations, and we can help with the "how to enter" but not the "what 
to enter". In your example, you are asking about how to record "paid in 
capital", but how about any not (yet) fully paid in? And the paid in 
capital, are you concerned with tracking paid in by  whom? (partner 
and/or shareholder shares)

The manual is NOT going to be of much help with "bookkeeping for a 
partnership" and "bookkeeping for a corporation" (except when it is just 
an incorporated sole proprietorship.)
