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)

General reserves need to be converted into cash first by issuing new shares to share holders and after that cash can be used to purchase assets.
The journal entry for discount allowed typically involves debiting the Discount Allowed account and crediting the Accounts Receivable or Sales account. For example, if a business allows a $100 discount on a sale, the entry would be: Debit: Discount Allowed $100 Credit: Accounts Receivable or Sales $100 This reflects the reduction in revenue due to the discount offered to the customer.
