In the Cross Check Balances step, Previous Year and Current Year migration is being posted to Accumulated Depreciation G/L Account, while the expected is Profit and Loss account (P&L).
Cause
Depreciation postings regardless of previous year/current year are posted into a balance sheet account which in this case is the Accumulated Depreciation, rather than P&L, as it should be a balance.
Resolution
When the assets are already in the system and daily postings, such as manual depreciation, depreciation runs, and so on, start taking place, the P&L Depreciation accounts will be used. So, the system behavior is correct in this case.
