Clearing of partial payment &1 without clearing of associated invoice &2

What causes this issue?

You have selected partial payments that have an invoice reference to a
DP chain invoice. This means that the associated invoice must be
cleared. This is not the case here, consequently the posting cannot be
made for update reasons.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Only select partial payments when you want to clear the corresponding
invoice as well. If you only want to post another partial invoice to the
invoice, you must deactivate the partial payment and only select the
invoice.
If you activate the <ZK>Include Invoice Reference</> checkbox under the
accounting processing options, the above setting will be defaulted.
Check whether this setting makes sense.
