When you migrate G/L account balances, the amounts are posted on the G/L accounts of the corresponding sub ledgers.
The G/L account balances will also be forwarded automatically to Migration Clearing Accounts.
Here the system will not post to the corresponding sub-ledgers due to a G/L account posting-block stating Only automatic postings allowed.

Initial Data Carryforward - Cash Account
