  The SAP error message MQ731 indicates that reconciliation differences have already occurred in a specific phase of the reconciliation process. This typically happens in the context of the SAP system's financial or logistics modules, where data consistency between different systems or modules is crucial.

  Data Inconsistency: There may be discrepancies between the data in different systems or modules, such as between the General Ledger and sub-ledgers.
