Explanation:

This happens usually when the partenrship is dissolved. Then the assets must cover all the obligations the firm has.

it starts from the external creditors, and slowly goes to Limited Partner, who has more right to recieve funds than the general partners. This is because the limited parter is only liable for his amount of contribution.

Only after satisfying all the external obligations the general partners have the ability to pay themselves!
