Delete PO Line Item with Down Payment Existing in Header

Question

Hi SAP Guru,
We have a PO with 6 line items.  A down payment was set up in the header level and is already paid to the vendor in the previous year, 2014.  There is no Goods Receipt yet for this line item in the PO.  One line item in the PO will be cancelled.  When we cancel the line item, it would not allow us to do so because there is already a down payment posting.  How do we cancel the line item of the PO with downpayment?
Thanks,
Matt

Dear Matthew,
Now if you want to delete the PO line item and down payment exist for the line items then you need to reverse the down payment and delete the PO line items.
If you have paid to vendor in previous year, then plz take help of your FI person if any way you create debit note in system against that payment. If possible
In Standard way, you need to 1st reverse the clearing items appearing in FBL1N. After this the line item will appear in open items. Then cancel down payment request in FB08 and then try to cancel PO line item.

Priti.
