You miss the column [cnt] in the INSERT list or in other words simply compare the two fieldname lists and you should easely see the problem.

Please, read this: SQL Server: SELECT INTO Statement[^]

Quote:
If you find that you want to rename some of the columns within the new table rather than using the original names, you can alias the column names in the SELECT INTO statement.

For example:

SQL
SELECT employee_id AS contact_id, last_name, first_name
INTO contacts
FROM employees
WHERE employee_id < 1000;
In this SELECT INTO example, we don't want the first column in the new contacts table to be called employee_id. It would be more meaningful to rename the first column in the contacts table to contact_id. This is done by aliasing the employee_id column as follows:

SQL
employee_id AS contact_id

SELECT TOP(100) [yyyy]
           ,[mm]
           , NULL AS [cnt]
           ,[totaloutstanding]
           ,[outst30]
           ,[outst60]
           ,NULL AS [outst80]
           ,[outst90]
           ,[outst120]
           ,[outst150]
           ,[outst180]
           ,[outst210]
           ,[outst2100]
 INTO [dbo].[irDataWIP]
 FROM [LiveTest].[dbo].[irDataWIP_Prod19062019]
