A credit is a specified amount due back from a vendor firm to the client based on billing guidelines or other predetermined terms. You can add credits to an invoice in one of two ways: with a task code or without a task code. Please confirm with your client whether a specific task code is required when adding credits to an invoice per their billing rules.
NOTE: A discount is an amount that is being deducted from an invoice for reasons determined by the firm. For instructions on how to add a discount to a non-LEDES/manual invoice, click here.
