Typically, you should be able to leave those boxes blank but if not, try adding zero and run your review to see if this clears the issue.
If this does not help, it might be easiest to delete that Form 1099R and reenter the information.

I found that you have to click on each one to show you had acknowledged it, then it will be accepted. On one, I had to enter a fake year in to get it to let me acknowledge it. I never got to deleting and reentering a 1099.
