While making a purchase of goods and services, based on your business terms with your supplier, you may get discounts on certain items depending on the quantity or supply. To record a purchase with such trade discounts in TallyPrime, you can show the discount percentage against the quantity of the item. Also, you have the flexibility to enter the discount percentage or amount for each item and book the total discount as indirect income in your purchase invoice.
For example, say you have purchased 100 pcs of Item A from a supplier. The standard buying price for this item is Rs. 100 each. Since this was a bulk purchase of 100 pcs, your supplier offered a discount of 10% on the item rate.
You can record this discount received in two ways:
You can enter the discount % along with the item. The total item amount will appear as Rs. 9,000 for all 100 pcs of Item A. Here, as the item amount is changed to Rs. 9,000, this amount will be booked as a purchase.
You can create a discount ledger for 10% as an indirect income and use it to calculate the total discount. That means, your per-item rate will show Rs. 100 and therefore Rs. 10,000 for all 100 pcs. The discount received for 100 pcs of the item will appear as Rs. 1,000, and the total payable at the end of the voucher will appear as Rs. 9,000.
