Initially you buy something at full price, say £10.
Ignoring VAT:
Debit purchases, credit Trade Creditors.
However then we get a 20% discount of £2:
Debit Trade Creditors, Credit Discounts Received.
Therefore you end up with the correct discounted balance of £8 on Trade Creditors.
In the financial statements, discounts received will be netted off purchases under cost of sales, to leave the figure paid for the item of £8.0
