Bismillah.. So lets assume that a product was sold for $300 with discount condition (2/10, n/30). FOr Seller Journal Entry would be: Dr A/R 350 Cr Sales 350 If the payment is made in time (within 10 days) then for seller the journal entry is as follow: Dr Cash 344 Dr Sales Discount 6 Cr A/R 350
Sales discount is a contra account against sales. In the journal, the entry is like this:Accounts receivable (dr) 9,000Sales discount (dr) 1,000Sales (cr) 10,000After recording this transaction in the journal, at the end of the accounting period, all the entries from the journal will be posted to respective statements. This sale transaction has something to do with the profitability of the entity so, this will be included as part of the Income Statement. Sales less returns and discounts will come up to Net sales.
It depends on the kind of discount and agreement that has been agreed upon in the sale transaction. Here is an example of a journal entry for discount for a normal credit sale transaction: Accounts receivable 9000 (dr) Discount from sale 500 (dr) Sales 9500 (cr)
