I’m not certain what you mean by ‘body’ but it seems to look like your dealing with 6 separate entities and a parent entity.
If that is the case, while you might be able to accomplish this with some fancy and very duplicative account structures, and likely a few duplicate transactions, you might be better served keeping all of those books separate from each other. (some legal jurisdictions require the separation) But if you really need/want to stay in one book: Who is the expense for? the sub or the managing account? It only needs to be recorded once as an expense - where it actually belongs. This will balance with a credit to an asset used to pay the expense. But it also needs to be recorded as income for the managing account. There is no way around this. (you’d have a separate transaction anyway if you had separate books) This will balance with a debit to whatever asset account according to the actual payment method received.
