ZGEN :Genral Accounts

ZCASH : Cash accounts

Hi,

The accounts which are having assets and liability nature is treated as Balance sheet accounts

The accounts which are having revenue and expenses nature is treated as P/L accounts

In sap, you can find which accounts related to B/s and P/L in SKA1 Table Field B/S account
