without adjusting any beneficiary advances against it.

How to fix this error?

To adjust beneficiary advances made for a purchase order, create payment
documents for expenditure orders that have source material management
and that correspond to the same purchase order.
For example, if EO1 and EO2 are expenditure orders with source material
management and EO3 is an expenditure order with source finance invoice,
then create two separate payment documents - one for EO1 and EO2 and one
for EO3. Then you can adjust the beneficiary advances against the
payment document for EO1 and EO2.
