About making a down payment using F-51(without posting through F-48)

Question

Hi Friends,
There are situations where the client has to make a down payment against a P.O. (even before the invoice is recieved).
Then the normal process is to make a down payment using F-48 with a spl. GL indicator, in this process if there is TDS deducted as well.
Then they have to transfer the SPL GL to normal GL before making a full payment using F-54
Now the client feels that this is a tedious process to transfer from SPL GL to normal and then make payments, because they say they have quite a few transactions and so to keep a track of which transaction to reverse and which one not to, at the time of making complete payment.
So, Is it advisable to tell them to post the transaction for down payment using F-51 (If TDS is not required to be duducted)and as and when they get the invoice post the same using F-43, and while making a payment, can we ask them to post the remaining amount.
Is it inevitable to post the transaction in F-54, if there is a TDS that is deducted, or is there a work around solution for this.
Please clarify

Dear Soujanya,
There is no need to transfer the amount from the special gl to the normal gl each time. The user can at the time of making the final payment in F-58 or F-53, in the "Paid items" area can also give the special GL indicator say "A". Now when he clicks on the "Process open items", the invoice and the advance both appear. He can select both and the net of them can be paid.
