Purchase credit memo with discount

Hello Community

I need your assistance on the posting entries created when we post Purchase credit memo with discount. In my setup i have Purchase account same as Direct cost acccount in essense they zero-ize, when we post Purchase Invoice it then posts to inventory account, payables and disccount received correctly. However when we reverse (purchase credit-memo) the entries created are somehow wrong, it posts back into that account of Purchase & Direct costs, hence i have balance in that account.

 

How do we get it correct?

    Try having your discount received account to be the same as purchases account.
     
    Should resolve the issue

    you could testing in a standard cronus company how such posting is being handled and troubleshoot your setting to find where is wrong.  
     

    When posting a purchase credit memo, especially with discounts, the typical expected ledger entries should be:

    • Debit the Accounts Payable (vendor balance), reducing the liability since you are returning items or getting a credit from the vendor.
    • Credit the Inventory account for the cost of the items being returned, to reduce the asset value.
    • Credit the Purchase (Direct Cost) account if it's been debited upon the initial invoice posting. This would usually zero out the cost posted from the initial invoice.
    • Debit the Discount Received account to reverse the discount received on the purchase invoice.
