Suppose I buy a share of HOOL at 100 USD on 2025-01-01. But I start beancount on 2025-08-01, when HOOL is 150 USD. What is the best way to start the book on 2025-08-01?
I think the ideal* way is to draw 150 USD from Equity:Opening-Balances on 2025-08-01, but record this lot of the HOOL share at 100 USD with an acquisition date of 2025-01-01. However, I don't know how to book this without causing an error/imbalance in beancount. (*Ideally, I want no transactions before 2025-08-01, but I'd like to keep the lot information.) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
