Answer / rsr
AR and AP are the subsidiary ledger to FI.
When you post items to a subsidiary ledger, the system
automatically posts the same data to the general ledger.
Each subsidiary ledger has one or more reconciliation
accounts in the general ledger. These reconciliation
accounts ensure that the balance of G/L accounts is always
zero. This means that you can draw up balance sheets at any
time without having to transfer totals from the subledgers
to the general ledge.

Answer / jm
As an end user, When an entry is posted for AR/AP
transactions. It is reflected in AR/AP sub ledgers only.
However reconciliation accounts ensures the automatic
posting to Main GL a/cs.
In other words Reconciliation accounts ensures automatic
postings from Sub ledger to Main ledger

Answer / sagar_sap
Reconcile ledger creates a link between main G/L and sub ledger that means:
Example:
Customer a/c in AP is a sub ledger
and Sundry Debtor is a G/L
So, reconcile ledger creates a link to update G/L through Sub ledger. when you post any transaction to a subledger it updates G/L through Reconcile ledger.
Transaction--> Sub ledger ==> Reconcile Ledger --> G/L
