  The SAP error message FINS_RECON372 indicates that there is an entry in the table BSIS_BCK that is missing the archiving flag (field XARCH). This typically occurs during the reconciliation process in financial accounting when the system expects certain entries to have been archived or flagged for archiving, but they are not.
