1) Both entries may be considered.

2) First entry is observed, where it is essential to understand how much amount is accounted under the head 'Discount Received'

3) On finalisation the very amount will get set off against the Purchases, to understand the Net Value of Purchases.

4) Point 3 above is carried on in your Second Entry.

 



 

 

1st entry is correct

The 2nd entry is correct when discount received is Trade discount where we directly adjust discount amount with purchase.
