we have received turnover discount from our vendor of Rs 15,00,000/- and they have adjusted the amount in total balance payable, how should we pass this entry in our ledger
* **Debit Vendor Account** — reduces your outstanding payable to vendor. * **Credit Discount Received Account** — recognizes the discount as income (or reduction in purchase cost).

### In Tally:
1. Go to **Accounting Voucher** (F7 – Journal Voucher). 2. Debit the **Vendor ledger** by ₹15,00,000. 3. Credit **Discount Received** ledger (you can create this under Indirect Income) by ₹15,00,000. 4. Narration: "Turnover discount received from vendor adjusted against payable."

If you treat discount as **reduction in purchase**, you can credit the **Purchase Account** directly (instead of Discount Received).
