It is quite normal to have a negative line on an invoice (we have that
happening already) as long as an invoice has a positive value (ie an
invoice is an invoice).

As an example, we have withholding tax to be deducted from a supplier
invoice and this is separate from normal tax, so we have withholding tax
as a product code (tax exempt). The line is processed as a negative
value to reduce the amount being paid without affecting tax
calculations.

Title:
  Design bug in invoice with negative total amount

Status in OpenERP Addons (modules):
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In Openerp it is possible to enter a invoice line with a negative
  amount total. This is usefull if a customer wants something credited
  on the same new debit invoice.

  But if the total amount of the whole invoice is negative, you can't
  reconcile the invoice, because 'by design' the balance of an invoice
  is always positive. And in this case it isn't.

  Creating a refund invoice is not always wanted and openerp does not
  restrict the enter of negative lines.
