Hi, the feature advertised at the very end of this announce[1] is broken in current ledger from git.
[1] http://groups.google.com/group/ledger-cli/browse_thread/thread/ddc404478beb72b7/15b2aa237faddb68 Namely, "or you can have Ledger deal with the remainder automatically" no longer holds. Here is the ledger file from the original announce: ;------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008/07/24 Opening Balance Assets:Checking = $100.00 Equity:Opening Balances 2008/07/30 We spend money, with a known balance afterward Expenses:Food $20.00 Assets:Checking = $80.00 2008/07/30 Again we spend money, but this time with all the info Expenses:Food $20.00 Assets:Checking $-20.00 = $60.00 2008/07/30 The fixed entry Expenses:Food $20.00 Assets:Checking $-20.00 = $30.00 Equity:Adjustments ;------------------------------------------------------------------- And the output: While parsing file "test", line 15: While parsing posting: Assets:Checking $-20.00 = $30.00 ^^^^^^ Error: Balance assertion off by $-10.00 It's still possible to deal with this kind of transaction explicitely, but it would be nice to have the feature back (IMHO).
