Suspense Accounts having a problem with it.

Hi All
I have recently started doing the AAT through distance learning and i am up to my 3rd assignment but i am struggling getting my head around suspense accounts. If there is a difference of 680 on the credit side does that then go to the debit side in the suspense account. Thought i would post on here to see if i can get some help. many thanks

Lets' say you have a total debit column of £1000 and a total credit column of £1680. You need both columns to total £1680.
So you put a £680 Debit in the suspense account.
When you have discovered what the £680 in the suspense account is, you then credit suspense and debit the correct account.
