Restitution / Donation payments received; then paid out.

The company I work for is a non for profit agency and I receive restitution and donation payments in trust that then will be paid out to the chosen charitable organization.  I am needing help on how to process this type of transaction in Sage 50c.

Am I correct to debit bank account then credit my restitution receivable (payable) ... I was not the person to setup Chart of Accounts and so I am a tad confused as they set up the restitution receivable (payable) account as an asset??

Hope someone is able to help and understands my question ... thank you in advance for you time.
