I need help with a Purchase Prepayment correction scenario in Business Central.

Hi All,
I need help with a Purchase Prepayment correction scenario in Business Central.

Scenario:

I created a Purchase Order with two lines:
- Line 1: Amount = 12,000
- Line 2: Amount = 1,800 with 100% Prepayment
I posted the Prepayment Invoice for the ₹1,800 line.
I then posted the Final Purchase Invoice, where the remaining balance of ₹12,000 was invoiced after deducting the prepayment.
Later, I realized that the final invoice amount was incorrect. It should have been ₹7993.54 instead of ₹12,000.
To correct it, I used Create Corrective Credit Memo from the posted purchase invoice and changed the invoice amount to ₹5,806.46.
However, when I tried to post the corrective credit memo, Business Central automatically added another line with:
- Quantity = -1
- Amount = ₹1,800
- Posting to the Prepayment G/L Account

The problem is that the Prepayment G/L Account has Direct Posting = No, so posting fails with a "Direct Posting must be Yes" error.

I want to issue a Purchase Credit Memo to the vendor for ₹1,800, and I want that amount to be posted back to the Prepayment G/L Account so that the prepayment balance is restored.
