Yea, I understand.  There just is no way to deal with this.  GnuCash
just does not handle "negative invoices", and probably never will due
to some design choices I made a long time ago.

Your best bet really is to either change the original invoice or make
it a "payment" (which you can later change to choose the correct
expense account that got credited).  However you should note that this
wont reduce your taxes paid.
