    Is the discount allowed to be in the profit and loss statement?

    It depends on when the sales discount is taken.

    For example if a customer purchases something on credit, then pays within the discount period the journal entry will be:
    Debit cash for the amount of cash
    Debit Sales discount for the difference
    Credit Accounts Receivable for the amount the customer owes

    For an example if a customer purchases $100 of goods on credit and there is a discount of $10 if the bill is paid within 15 days, the journal entry will be:
    Debit Cash for $90
    Debit Sales Discount for $10
    Credit Accounts Receivable for $100

    On a Multi-Step Income statement Sales discount will be listed after gross sales.

    First will be Gross Sales, then Sales discounts and Sales Returns & Allowances will be listed, which will reduce gross sales to get to Net Sales.
