There is only one situation for P&L account under Asset side (Loss) of the Balance sheet.

If Profit & Loss shown in Asset side then Your firm is in Loss.

In case Your Firm not fall under Loss then check Your accounting Entries & Also check Your PandL account...

if p&l acc appears in assets side of balance sheet then it is debit balance(i.e loss).

In the case above it Profit and loss account is shown in Balance sheet of your firm where it indicates your loss balance transferred from profit and loss account.

When I worked as an accountant, I made a lot of mistakes because of my inattention, I always did not converge the balance, I had to stay at work and from this I was constantly tired. I read an article about how the level of attention is affected by the level of humidity in the room and decided to check how things are with it in my office. Turns out my problem was in the air, maybe yours was, too? Just in case, I'll leave the site where I ordered the meter, I hope it will be useful.

In case credit balance of profit and Loss accounts then that credit balance of P&L is transferred in assets side of balance sheet because it is the Loss.
