Dear all,
can somebody explain please in simple terms what is the meaning of
*inventory *and *position *in the situation, when no investment is
involved and when I only track expenses and incomes in different currencies?
I understand what is *transaction *and *posting*, but for instance the
description in the help of *beanquery *still remains cryptic for me
An Amount is a number with attached a currency (also referred sometimes
as commodity).
A Position is an Amount with attached a Cost specification.
A Posting associated an Amount and an optinal Cost ton an Account.
An Inventory is a container for Positions. When you sum Positions (or
Amounts) not necessarily all of them are in the same currency /
commodity or have the same Cost associated.
I would have guessed that this is explained somewhere in the Beancount
documentation, but I would not be able to pinpoint where now.
Cheers,
Dan
