Allowing negative amounts when splitting a transaction would be useful to record money which is taken for fee's and other expenses within a single transaction.
Say I have a payment for £1.99 for example which is then subject to a merchant transaction fee of 0.23p. So the amount the customer is charged is £1.99, the amount that actually hits my bank is £1.76. In another accounting application, I could create a transaction for £1.99 and split it with 2 entries, one for sales of £1.76 and one for -0.23p to merchant fees and this would then balance up, and show the real amount of money in the right places.
This isn't possible with Sage as it doesn’t allow negative entries when splitting a transaction. Meaning for my merchant fees I either have to create a second transaction to match the incoming one, or bulk all the fees together each month and create a "fees" transaction. I would much prefer to have everything related to that transaction in a single entry for easy of accountability.
