what's better?

I have a client that I did some bartering work for. I want to basically make their accounts $0.

What is the difference between an 'account credit' and a 'discount'? If I want to discount it 100% or create an account credit and apply it to the individual, how will this effect the reports section?

It's really up to you how you want to do it - it all washes out to the same thing in the end.

Note you can put $0 items on an invoice and use the little "mark paid" button that appears to mark the invoice paid.

Discounts are negative priced line items - that's what I do. Makes it easy to glance at the invoice and see what's going on.
