When goods are sold for cash or on credit, the Sales account should be credited. To encourage early payment of goods purchased on credit, the seller will often offer a cash discount. These discounts are recorded in the Sales Discounts account. When goods are returned or an allowance is requested, the adjustment is made to the Sales Returns and Allowances account. All sales discounts, returns, and allowances reduce sales revenues.
