Invoice items with negative rates and invoice items as percentages (+ or -)

I have Quicken Classic For Mac Business and Personal, version 8.4. I need to be able to have invoice items that can have negative rates. I can set them up that way in Products and Services, but the negative value turns positive when I use it on an invoice, particularly when I tab through the rate field. Can the development team look into this? Secondly, it would be greatly helpful if we could have invoice items that are a percentage (either positive or negative) of the preceding line item, like the Windows version has.

    @GriffeyDog If might help the developers if you briefly explain your use case for having a negative rate on an invoice. (Also be aware that a lot of Quicken teams shut down for a week around Christmas, so it might take a little while to get a response.)

    MODERATORS: There does seem to be a discrepancy between Quicken allowing a negative rate in Products and Services but not allowing a negative rate on an invoice line item. Which is the intended behavior, and which one is wrong? It would help if you could question the development team about this.

    Hello @GriffeyDog,

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I tried to replicate the issue, but was not able to get a negative rate to save in Products and Services. Every time I click out of the field, the minus sign vanishes. How are you able to set up the negative rate in Products and Services?

    @jacobs,

    Per your request, I created a ticket to ask internally if this is intended behavior or not.

    Thank you!

    @GriffeyDog It would help us to understand your issue if you'd elaborate on "negative rate".
    What? And, Why?
