  The SAP error message FINS_RECON460 typically indicates an issue related to the reconciliation of General Ledger (G/L) line items. This error message is often encountered during the execution of financial reconciliation processes, such as during the execution of the Financial Closing cockpit or when running reports that require G/L line item data.
  Cause:
  The error message FINS_RECON460 suggests that there is a problem with the G/L line item table, which may be due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Data Inconsistency: There may be inconsistencies in the G/L line item data, such as missing entries or discrepancies between the line items and the reconciliation process.
  Incomplete Data: The G/L line item table may not have been fully populated or updated, leading to incomplete data being processed.
  Locking Issues: There may be locks on the G/L line item table that prevent the reconciliation process from accessing the necessary data.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the financial module may lead to issues in processing G/L line items.
