Error While creating Invoice in MIR6

Question

Hi Team,
             We are getting error  "Down payment was already cleared and cannot be used  in offsetting" when posting invoice in MIR6.
Before posting, the vendor was cleared in transaction code F-44 which generated a residual document for down payment amount debit with posting key 29 and credit with 39 for same vendor a/c.
The impact of the document created a open item and  a cleared item in vendor a/c for the down payment amount.
Thanks in advance for replies

Hi,
Please refer the note#213852 -Analysis of down payment processing with FI. Point 1, answers your query.
1.  Down payment requests
    a) Clearing of down payments
       Transaction F-29 is used to post down payments made in accunting.
       This incomimg payment is assigned to one or more down payment
       request items. These noted items are offset, regardless of
       whether the total amount or only part of this amount was paid,
       and then removed from the open items.
