You could just make some Journal Entries in Banking and Journal Entry tab. And counterbook from Freehold Property to the correct discount account.

While we're on this subject, I have a couple of discounts against Freehold Property in my GL transactions.
Can I just use phpMyAdmin to change the records in table gl_trans or will I need to void the transactions and do them again?

Thanks Joe

Joe, it's ok I've found it!
I hadn't noticed the 'Purchase Discount Account' against this particular SUPPLIER was set to Freehold Property.
I had seen the setting in Setup->System and General GL Setup and forgot there was an override against each supplier.

Once I'd corrected that, it was all working

Sorry to waste your time

Hi Joe,
I have done that and through the proceduce again, and here is the GL transaction:

Account Code Account Name Debit Credit
2100 Creditors Control Account 1,471.10
0010 Freehold Property 400.00
1200 Bank Current Account 1,071.10
Total 1,471.10 1,471.10

Is there a log somewhere that I need to look in for errors or would there have been messages on screen if anything strange happened?

I cannot reproduce this. Please set the $go_debug flag in config.php to 1 to see if something strange is happening when doing the operation.

supplier discount account setting or bug?

When entering a payment to a supplier, the discount I have entered is coming up in the GL enquiry against account 0010 Freehold Property.

In Setup->System and General GL Setup I have Purchase Discount Account set as 5201 Discounts Taken.

Have I missed a setting somewhere or could this be a bug?
