3387656 - Error "Total of down payment to be billed too high. See billing document item &" (VF525) occurs when posting closing invoice - S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

When creating a milestone billing in a sales order, there is a business need to add one or more down payments and the closing invoice. In this case, it can happen that the amount of the whole order is lower than the down payment amount, because the amount of the sales order was adjusted after the down payment had been posted.

The problem is that the closing invoice shows a negative amount, and cannot be balanced via a credit memo to equalize the down payment account. Also the invoice is not posted, and the system issues error message VF525: "Total of down payment to be billed too high. See billing document item &"
