Allow negative amounts on Product and Billing Items

My organization is often required to match an award, for example 20% of the grantor's award.  I would like to include a line item showing the match.  Doing this would allow the gross expenses to be billed show as a line item followed by the match amount (a negative) to arrive at the net invoice amount.

Gross project expense for January $100
Grantee match -20
Invoice subtotal $80

    You can create a credit item in the products/billing item configuration....much like a school applies financial aid against a full tuition charge.  when you enter the credit to be applied you enter it as a positive value but the system treats it as a negative because it is set up as a credit.  Make sure you apply the credit to the appropriate charge.
