Sales discount is a contra account against sales. In the journal, the entry is like this:

Accounts receivable (dr) 9,000
Sales discount (dr) 1,000
Sales (cr) 10,000


After recording this transaction in the journal, at the end of the accounting period, all the entries from the journal will be posted to respective statements. This sale transaction has something to do with the profitability of the entity so, this will be included as part of the Income Statement. Sales less returns and discounts will come up to Net sales.
