Trade discount received from sundry creditors generally reduces the cost of purchases, so it is recorded **against the Purchase account** (i.e., it reduces the purchase value).
**Regarding your question about credit notes:**
* If the trade discount was **not mentioned in the original invoice** but you received a **credit note later**, you should **record the credit note by reducing the Purchase account** accordingly.
* This means your purchase expenses will reduce by the amount of the credit note.
So yes, the purchase value is affected (reduced), which is correct accounting treatment.
**Summary:**
* Trade discount (whether on invoice or via credit note) reduces the purchase cost.
* Record credit notes from creditors as a reduction in Purchase account, not as indirect income.
