  The SAP error message FINS_RECON858 typically indicates an issue related to the reconciliation of financial data, particularly in the context of asset accounting or inventory management. The message suggests that there is a mismatch or inconsistency between the financial data in the FMLV (Financial Master Data) and the material valuation data in MBEW (Material Valuation) or EBEW (Material Valuation for Special Stocks).
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Valuation Data: The error often arises when there are entries in the financial master data (FMLV) that do not have corresponding entries in the material valuation tables (MBEW/EBEW). This can happen if:
  
  The material master data was not properly maintained.
  The valuation class or other relevant fields are not correctly set up.
  There are inconsistencies due to data migration or system upgrades.
  
  
  
  Data Inconsistencies: If there are inconsistencies in the data between the financial and material management modules, this error can occur. This might be due to manual changes or incorrect postings.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the integration between Financial Accounting (FI) and Material Management (MM) can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Material Master Data: Verify that the material master data is correctly maintained. Ensure that the valuation class is set up properly and that the necessary valuation data exists in the MBEW/EBEW tables.
  
  
  Reconcile Data: Perform a reconciliation of the financial data with the material valuation data. This may involve running reports or using transaction codes like MB52 (List of Warehouse Stocks on Hand) or MB5B (Stocks on Hand) to identify discrepancies.
  
  
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to the integration of FI and MM. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  
  
  Data Migration: If the issue arose after a data migration, review the migration process to ensure that all necessary data was transferred correctly.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
