Vendor early payment discounts

We are a wholesale distributor for pipe, valves and fittings.  Some of our vendors offer a 2% 10 Net 30 for early payment.  An example is tube fittings purchased from a vendor that offers 2% 10 Net 30 days.  The invoice will be for $10,000 for a 15 line purchase order with varying quantities on each line.  

 

I have started taking advantage of the discount but noticed that the discount taken at time of payment is falling into an account that is incorrect.  I was going to change it but then I started questioning if the discount should be recorded under COGS or other income.   Any insight would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks in advance!
