    There should be a net zero balance in the suspense main account if you processed your opening balances correctly.

      It never ceases to amaze me how many people register on a forum and barge straight in and ask their question, dont even introduce themselves or anything - what happened to manners and reading the forum etiquite ?

            I suggest that you pass a general journal to clear all the suspense sub-accounts (except the first one), using the first one as the contra account.
