Discount allowed: original entry made in the discount allowed column on the debit side of the cash book and at the end of the month debited(after balancing the cash book) in the nominal ledger. The credit entry is made in the personal account of buyer. Discount received: original entry made in the discount received column on the credit side of the cash book and at the end of the month credited(after balancing the cash book) in the nominal ledger.

Because as soon as any business transaction occurred first of all it is recorded in journal and after that it is summarized in different ledgers that's is why it is called book of original entry.
The word journal has been derived from the French word "Jour" Jour means day. So, journal means daily. Transactions are recorded daily in journal and hence it has named so. As soon as a transaction takes place its debit and credit aspects are analyse and first of all recorded chronologically (in the order of their occurrence) in a book together with its short description. This book is known as journal. Thus we see that the most important function of journal is to show the relationship between the two accounts connected with a transaction. This facilitates writing of ledger. Since transactions are first of all recorded in journal, so it is called book of original entry or prime entry or primary entry or preliminary entry, or first entry. Farhad Rana (SMUCT)
