Short payment receivable means amount receivable from the customer for delivered goods or services.  That time the entry will be Sundry Debtors Debit to Sales Credit, to close this entry while receipt of cash/cheque, Bank/Cash Debtor to Sundry Debtor. Sundry Debtors should be shown in the Balance Sheet on the Assets side under Current Assets.

The bank / cash discount needs to be deducted from the cash / bank and depend on the customer with its short payment values

As stated, we have received short payment against receivable amount. One needs to debit bank/cash (as received from the debtor) and debit discounts paid (if there is a provision by the management to approve the same) and credit the customer. Else, if discount is not in the managment structure, just needs to debit the cash/bank (as received from the debtor) and credit the customer. Rest for the short payment, a reminder has to be shared with the concerned debtor

Short term payment received from clienf means the client paid less than the invoiced amount. Therefor, you Debit Cash if paid by Cash and Credit Accounts receivable. OR YOU Debit Bank if paid through bank and credit the Account Receivables.

Following our colleagues answers, and commanding Mr. Chirag Agarwal, since the payment has been effected in short time and before the due date, consequently the payer has to gain some discount.
