Document refers to a cleared down payment request

What causes this issue?

At least one down payment request has been cleared with the document
that you want to reverse.

System Response

Using this transaction, the down payment is reversed but the down
payment remain cleared.

How to fix this error?

If clearing in the down payment request is to be reset, first of all
call up the transaction "Clearing Reset" (FBRA). Then reverse the down
payment (FB08).
If the reversal is executed without clearing reset, you have to create
new down payment requests if required.
