Year-end adjustment to accounts payable

Question

Hello all, 
 From my accountant I got adjusting entry as follow: 
 Account Payable Dt $110,181.09 Account Payable Dt $13,502.88 Account Payable Dt $145,393.82 Due to related parties Cr $145,393.82 Payroll liabilities -current Cr $ 110,181.09 GST Charged on Sales Cr $ 13,502.88 
 Since we debit account payable I can't enter it through general journal, and have to enter through payables ledger. And to be honest I have no idea how, I've been trying and still something goes wrong. 
 Do you have any suggestions how to enter such adjustment?

I would post all the Accounts Payable entries to Accrued Liabilities. 
 None of the Credit side accounts look like they are affecting actual vendor-type entries so I would stay away from Accounts Payable. 
 Technically it could be entered in the Purchases data entry screen but which vendor do you use? Because you likely cannot answer that, I would stay away from that module. 
 If you use the Tax report for reporting your sales tax, don't forget to use one on the general journal entry so that your sales tax is reported. However, because this appears to be a year end adjusting journal entry, the reporting period for that remittance is past and you should review your general ledger reports for your next remittance to catch the amount in this entry.
