  The SAP error message FINS_RECON731 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the CO (Controlling) documents in the COSP (CO Object: Line Item) and COSP_BAK (Backup of CO Object: Line Item) tables. Specifically, it suggests that there are entries in the COSP_BAK table that do not have corresponding entries in the COSP table.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
