In the ledger file at the bottom I set up a multi-level budget. If I
run the commands below, everything works until I restrict to a third
level budget line.
your example might be fixed as follows:
~ Every year
Budget $10000
Equity -$10000
~Every year
Budget -$10000
Department 1 $5000
Department 2 $5000
~Every year
Department 1 -$5000
Dept 1:Project A $2500
Dept 1:Project B $2500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Department 2) $500
Equity -$500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Dept 1:Project A) $500
Equity -$500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Dept 1:Project B) $500
Equity -$500
In fact, renaming the top categories in the budget might be better:
~ Every year
Budget $10000
Equity -$10000
~Every year
Budget -$10000
Department 1 Budget $5000
Department 2 Budget $5000
~Every year
Department 1 Budget -$5000
Department 1:Project A $2500
Department 1:Project B $2500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Department 2) $500
Equity -$500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Department 1:Project A) $500
Equity -$500
2016-02-01 Fake txn
Expense:foo $500
(Department 1:Project B) $500
Equity -$500
By doing so, you can continue using the exact same syntax for the
transactions and the queries. I don't know how well this generalizes to
more levels, though.
Btw, someone in this list has argued against unbalanced (virtual)
transactions. I'd be curious how a budget like the above could be
defined without virtual accounts.
Life.
