If there is no balance in account 3390 (Sundry Expenses) or 5200 (Trade Creditors) you may not wish for the Trial Balance (and resulting accounts) to allocate £2 to these accounts. 

To net the rounding difference off with another amount, select an alternative rounding account under Rounding Differences at the bottom of the Posting screen.
