    How do you offset debtors against creditors and visa versa in pastel?

    Good morning,


    I am working on Pastel Partner. I have companies that are both a supplier (creditor) and customer (debtor)? I would like to offset / contra / move the creditor's balance to the debtor and visa versa.

    Please assist on how you do this?

    Your assistance will be greatly appreciate!

    Many thanks!

    The process involves two steps.

    Firstly, create a suspense account in the balance sheet.

    If, for example, you want to move a debit balance from a debtor account to offset against the creditor account, you first need to process a customer journal to credit the debtor and use the suspense account as the contra account. Then process a supplier journal, debiting the creditor with the amount and using the same suspense account as the contra.
