  The SAP error message FIN_FB_RECON001 indicates that there is a discrepancy in the balance of the BSEG (Document Segment) table for a specific transaction currency. This error typically arises during financial reconciliation processes, such as when trying to execute a financial report or perform a reconciliation task.
