Topic: 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?

Re: supplier discount account setting or bug?

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.

Re: supplier discount account setting or bug?

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?

Re: supplier discount account setting or bug?

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 smile

Sorry to waste your time

Re: supplier discount account setting or bug?

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

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