Would the collection of a 900 account after the 2 percent discount period will result in a debit to accounts receivable for 900?

Yes, yet no. Yes in the fact that the full $900 would be recorded into the AR. However, since AR accounts are "assets" and maintain a debit balance, then a credit for the $900 will apply, not a debit.
The fact that the company is paying their account "after" the discount period means that they are not taking advantage of the discount and are paying the net amount, all $900, the company will record the receipt of the full $900 as a normal transaction.
