Why does the commission appear in both Payables and Receivables?

The Trust account must pay the commission, and the payment must be available to reconcile via the trust account.

The commission must also be recorded as income to the dealer and the payment received will be reconciled to the dealer’s normal working account.

Therefore you create 2 transactions:  a vendor payment representing the vendor’s money you are retaining from the trust account, and a customer payment representing income to you into the working account.
