  The SAP error message FINS_RECON896 indicates a discrepancy between planned values and posted values in the asset accounting tables, specifically in the original table ANLC (Asset History Sheet). This error typically arises during reconciliation processes or when running reports that compare planned and actual values for fixed assets.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is a mismatch between the planned values (which may be derived from budgets or forecasts) and the actual posted values in the asset accounting tables.
  Manual Adjustments: If manual adjustments were made to asset values or if there were changes in asset master data that were not reflected in the planned values, this can lead to discrepancies.
