Answer:
- Credit Notes in Clio is considered a write-off and is usually applied to a bill when the firm does not think they will be getting paid for that amount. They can also be tracked and reported on, whereas Discounts reduce the amount recorded as billed and cannot be tracked.
- Discounts can be applied to individual Line Items, Credit Notes are applied to an entire Bill.
