The disbursement cannot be posted since the release procedure is

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?

Save the disbursement and then initiate the release procedure. You can
then start the update. The function 'Post' is active because small
amounts which are below the threshold value for the release procedure
can be posted directly. The amount you entered exceeds the threshold
value.
