The G/L Accounts in migration depend upon the settings in the system. However the most prominent account types that you cannot use in migration are:

- OCLSBS - Opening or closing - balance sheet
- OCLSPL - Opening or closing - income statement
- PCCLEA - Profit center or segment clearing
- Migration clearing accounts

You cannot make manual postings to G/L accounts of the following account types: OCLSPL - Opening or Closing Income Statement, OCLSBS - Opening or Closing Balance Sheet, and PCCLEA- Profit Center or Segment Clearing.
These accounts are only used in the balance carry forward run for balance carry forward postings only.

Once you correct these then the above errors would not appear during migration of G/L balances.
