Hi,
It is understood that you want to give discount to the customer; but you do not want to post the discount immediately; whenever the customer meets certain requirements, you want to release the discount.
1. You can calculate the discount with a condition type and make it statistical; but it will not affect the accounting entries; you cannot post to accounts.
2. When we create a billing document; the accounting document is also created. The debit value and the credit value should be balanced (equal) and the corresponding GL accounts also posted.
3. If you are not giving a discount the accounting entry will be like this. Customer A/c Dr 86.49 INR; Sales revenue account Cr 75.00 INR; Other taxes Cr 11.49 INR. So the debit and credit are tallied.
4. If you are giving some discount to the customer, the accounting entries will be like this. Customer A/c Dr. 82.99 INR, Discount A/c Dr 3.50 INR; Sales revenue account Cr 75.00 INR; Other taxes Cr 11.49 INR. Here also the debit and credit are tallied.
5. So, you cannot make the Discount A/c Dr 3.50 INR as incomplete (suspense). You can post the accounting entries as said either in step 3 or 4.
6. If you want to give any concession to the customer, you can follow the credit memo processing with reference to the sales order/billing document.
Hope this information will be useful to you.
