I) Since discount is already mentioned on the invoice, net value (after discount) ₹5768 is the cost of goods purchased. ii) If payment is not made within the allowed time, then supplier can issue a revised/supplement invoice for the difference including tax. In this case, additional cost as per revised/supplement invoice will also form part of cost of goods purchased. Note: C/N is issued by the supplier in respect of sales return etc.
