Trade discount is not shown any where in accounts as cash is received with discounted amount and sales also shown with reduced price.
Yes increase in accounts receivable creates cash outflow or reduction in cash as if instead of credit sales it would be cash sales then there would be cash received which increases the cash.
Cash discounts are recorded as a reduction in revenue on the income statement when the discount is taken. This reduces the total sales revenue recognized for the period. On the balance sheet, accounts receivable are recorded net of any cash discounts that are expected to be taken, reflecting the anticipated cash inflow from customers after the discount. If a discount is not taken, it does not affect the financial statements until the payment is received.
Trade Discount are considered cost of sales/reduction in sales dependant upon who the customer is. Cash Discount is always considered Increasing Interest Expense/Reduction of Interest Expense, dependant upon who the recipient is.
