I think you need to ask the preparer of the 1065 about it.

A commission paid by the Partnership for a business reason would generally just go on page 1 of the 1065, and would affect Box 1 of the K-1.  It would not be listed separately on the K-1.  So you need to find out more about exactly what it is and why it is separated on the K-1.
