What causes this issue?

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

A transaction in the SAP system can consist of multiple documents in
Financial Accounting and Consolidation.
Reconciliation checks that the postings in Financial Accounting and
Consolidation match for each transaction. When this is done, each
account assignment in Financial Accounting is converted to the
corresponding consolidation unit and consolidation item, and then
compared with the postings in the Consolidation system.
The comparison includes the local currency of the company code and any
other parallel local currencies.
Differences may arise, for example, if the following situations exist:
The local currency the consolidation unit uses was not carried in the
valuation of the consolidation ledger in Financial Accounting at the
time of the posting, neither as the local currency currency of the
company code nor as a parallel local currency.
Due to a system error, FI documents were not completely updated in the
Consolidation system, which means that several line items are possibly
missing.
