Abstract: We construct a Grassmannian-like formulation for the potential KP-hierarchy including additional ``negative'' flows. Our approach will generalize the notion of a $\tau$-function to include negative flows. We compare the resulting hierarchy with results by Hirota, Satsuma and Bogoyavlenskii.
