How to prepare a trade Receivables budget Month by month?

I was given the format:

Opening balance

+Credit sales

(-)Receipts from debtors

(-) Cash discounts.

The thing is, the mark scheme shows that receipts from the month already takes into account cash discounts, yet it is subtracted again. Basically discounts are deducted twice? One from the receipts and the second time separately?

eg,

receipts from debtors = 4000 less 10% = 3600

in the busget it shows:

OP BAL

+SALES

-3600

-400

Therefore the discount was deducted twice. Any explanation?
