Could anybody provide some insight please?

I am using Pastel 17 and have created a new company as a copy of another (existing) company and cleared out all of the history records that were copied in order to create a "clean" starting point. My understanding is that in essence this new company is a clear template to work in - but I am unsure whether this is in fact the case?

Working in "last year" mode to capture the TB into this "clean" set of books, I have included the GL bank account (8440/000 - contra 9990/004) in the general journal used to capture the TB figures. I cannot figure how to transfer the (positive) value from the suspense account (9990/004) to the bank account (8440/000) that clears the suspense account without doubling the amount in the bank account.

I will be most grateful for any advice on how to go about this correctly or on what I am doing wrong please.

With thanks
Lindsay
