Hello Atif,
Since you have made the PO field mandatory for Posting Key 29, it will ask you for the PO reference. However, in case of 'Employee Vendor' you need to debit this vendor with the down payment amount, but do not wish to use the PO reference. Therefore, the best way to handle this is to use the T Code  "F-02" General Posting. In the first line item, use the Posting key 24 - Vendor Debit - Other Receivables and the second line item use the Posting Key 50 - GL Account Credit for crediting the Bank Account. This will enable you to debit the Employee Vendor Account and also save the step of clearing the DownPayment. The solution will work well, unless you have a pressing need for using the DownPayment mode only for recording the Employee Vendor payment.
