10 February 2014 how is it not...you dont want to reduce the purchase A/c...the impact has to be given:

lets say initial cost was Rs 1000

now on account of credit note the cost has been reduced to 900. so either you reduce the purchase cost or park it as discount. the effect in profit & loss a/c shall be the same.

even you dont do anything. when you settle the account the remaining balance will still reflect as income on account of extinguishment of liability to the extent of Rs 100..
