What causes this issue?

The automatic posting items for financial statement imbalances and

Either all or none of the items must have a breakdown by transaction
currency. If there is a breakdown by transaction currency, the settings
for these items must be the same in the maintenance for selected items
or the document type. In other words, either all items must have the
same default value or the same fixed transaction currency.
Either all items must be broken down by the same unit of measure, or
none of them is broken down by a unit of measure.
One or both of these requirements have not been met for document type
&V1&.
