Strange GL account in Invoive Verification

Question

Dear Experts,
Usually, IR doc is
Dr: GR/IR
Cr: AP-vendor
But, My document is
Dr: GR/IR
Cr: GL account
I don't know where is this GL account from, Is it configurable? otherwise, how does SAP find and post this GL account instead of AP-vendor?
Before this IR, Down payment and GR been done, IR is GR-based, besides, there is foreign currency in GR and IR and down payment.
Did down pament or foreign currency cause this?
Thanks!

Hello,
Let me assumed that you need a G/L Account because you make a down payment and you need to clear those down payment afterward. In my company we have 2 way to deal with down payment depend on the business process.
First :
When we make a purchase that need a down payment we untick the GR Based Invoice in the PO. Thus we can do an invoice verification on that PO (via MIR7 and/or MIRO).
The invoice is posted as :
   (Dr). GR/IR
   (Cr). A/P
At the end of the month, we run GR/IR Analysis (F.19). This T-Code reclassified all of debit posting in GR/IR account that haven't cleared yet and reclassified as Goods Not Received/Invoice Received in asset. The reclassification process is posted as :
  (Dr.) Goods not Received Invoice Received -> in asset
  (Cr). GR/IR
This process need a customization to determine GnR/IR account.
Second :
Alternatively we simply make a down payment posting (F-63) and cleared the down payment when the final invoice is coming.
The posting for the down payment is :
  (Dr). Down Payment
  (Cr). Cash/Bank
The posting for goods received is :
  (Dr). Inventory/Expenses
  (Cr). GR/IR
The Posting for the final invoice is :
  (Dr). GR/IR
  (Cr). A/P
The posting for Down Payment Clearing is :
  (Dr). A/P
  (Cr). Down Payment
This process need a customization to determine alternate reconciliation account for the vendor.
