The Customer Invoice ABC has the Invoice Date YY.YY.YYYY (which is a date before the date XX.XX.XXXX). Down Payment XYZ was assigned to Customer Invoice ABC and since the Invoice Date of the Down Payment is XX.XX.XXXX which is a later date than the Invoice Date of Customer Invoice ABC the error occurs. This is also the reason why the error occurs for Cancellation Invoice EFG.

The Invoice Date of a Down Payment cannot be later than the Invoice Date of the Customer Invoice in which the Down Payment is assigned.

Ensure that the Invoice Date of the Invoice has a later date than the Invoice Date of the Down Payment
