System does not allow partial clearing of Down payment with different currencies. The reason for this is when a down payment starts getting consumed against an invoice, the system needs to split the consumed tax against an invoice and remaining taxes and keep track of the open amounts.

Such process becomes very complex if multiple currencies are involved, as rounding difference can arise in such cases, so system is not capable to handle the differences. Hence, system does not support this clearing unless clearing is in full amount.

It is not possible to partially clear the down payment with a document when there are different currencies involved.
