    How to fix this error?

    Be aware that the reconciliation process may report false out of

    while the rule is being processed. Timing issues may mean that such
    postings are included by one data provider but not by another.
    If possible, run the reconciliation process only against closed
    periods. If reconciliation errors are reported during a run that
    includes open period data, you must run the report again and verify
    whether this data is still reported by the second run.
