The policy adopted by the company is to offer discount to the customer for procuring of the pharmacy.

In your situation, the there are two different customers who are entitled for discount. You have to stratify the sales data customer wise and compare them with the discount on one to one basis to find out the difference. You may also compare the bill wise sales data with customer wise sales data.

It is advisable to go for Stratified sample Vouching of invoices along with the sales Ledger.
Choose a majority of samples which are Below the bill value of Rs.100 and verify the same with the ledger data.
