Three parties X,Y AND Z "X" sold goods to "y"worth Rs.80000. "X" has given discount to "Y" of Rs. 30000
In the books of "Z", "Y" has a debit balance of Rs.38000. He settles the same by paying Rs. 8000 and asks to adjust the discount of Rs.30000 received from "X"
"X" and "Z" have continuous running balance in each other's books.
will "X" be able to take credit of discount given in his books? if so please suggest the accounting entries
I am not underatnding why a transaction between X and Y where X alllows some discount will any way affect the Books of Z. So i guess that you need to clarify more on this query

No any transactional relation is being established for discount between X & Y. The discount may be in the nature of sales discount. And how X can transfer his discount/bad debts to Y..it is prima facie seems not practicable
