How To Fix K5608 - Inconsistency between FI doc. &3 and reconciliation ledger doc.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: K5 - CO Reconciliation Ledger

• Message number: 608

• Message text: Inconsistency between FI doc. &3 and reconciliation ledger doc.

What causes this issue?

The reconciliation ledger document and the associated Financial
Accounting document are inconsistent.
Reconciliation ledger document number: &V1&
Reconciliation ledger document total: &V2&
FI document (company code) : &V3&
FI document total : &V4&

How to fix this error?

Use document display in Financial Accounting and the Special Purpose
Ledger (using selection criteria ledger 3A (reconciliation ledger)) to
check whether inconsistent documents were actually recorded.
FI document display: <DS:TRAN.FB03>Execute</>
Special Purpose Ledger display: <DS:TRAN.GD23>Execute</>
It could be that the document check determines that the amounts in both
documents agree. This message could also have occurred because a change
has been made to the account determination in the time between the
execution of the reconciliation posting that produced the FI document
&V4&, and the current date.
In this case, the cost flows and documents displayed by the "Cost flow
overview" report are correct and you can ignore this message.
