Items flow with negative price

Dear reader,
 
In our business it it common sense that people pay us for picking up there waste. In this way, we need to post a purchase order with an item which has a negative price.
This is possible. However when we try to invoice this purchase line, the system does not allow us. how can we solve this?
 
I do not 100% understand why we can't post negative values. I have more often negative values on my inventory G/L accounts (when I invoice Sales orders before receiving purchase invoice my inventory G/L shows negative value also)
 
 
Where: Purchase invoice
Error:
Amount must be negative in Gen. Journal Line Journal Template Name='',Journal Batch Name='',Line No.='0'" when posting the purchase invoice, it may be due to one of the following reasons:Amount must be negative in Gen. Journal Line Journal Template Name='',Journal Batch Name='',Line No.='0'

    Hi all,

    Thank you for your responds, but these answers are about return orders. I know the flow of orders & return orders on a normal bases.
    So you pay money and receive a product (and post an invoice) or you return a product and get money back (and need to post a creditnote)
     
    BUT
     
    In this case I receive a product and the vendor pays me. So the money and product flow is both into the same direction.
    In logical thinking you change the price on the order into a minus and it should be fine. But this is not the logic of BC :)
     
    The interesting thing is that I'm able to post the order. So I can create negative suspended inventory lines during a received/shipment booking.
    BUT when I try to invoice these lines, I get the error below.
