27 July 2015 You will have to make provision for this.
The discount on the next sale is not ascertainable by you, right ?

28 July 2015 Sale entry as usual. If the discount amount is not ascertainable, you will have to make a prudent assumption based on the past experience. The amount should be definite.

So, you will have to pass a provision entry when you get an rough figure as follows:-

Discount on Sale A/c- Dr
To Discount Liability Accrued

When at the time of next sale-

Cash /Bank A/c -Dr
Discount Liability Accrued- Dr
To. Sale
