What causes this issue?

The last closing balance with value zero, that is, all cash desk
balances had been withdrawn, was created before &V1&.

System Response

The system recognizes that you have not created a closing balance with
value zero for all cash desk balances for at least 90 days. The system
refuses the partial withdrawal.
Closing balances with value zero considerably increase the performance
for the determination of the current cash desk balance. SAP therefore
recommends that you withdraw the complete cash desk balance at regular
intervals.

How to fix this error?

Post a complete withdrawal of all cash desk balances or post the
remaining amount (change) as new deposit.
