I just had a light bulb moment and wanted to share. (This idea is
obviously to many but I am a bit slow ;)
I have an Assets:Transfer account which I use for transfers. So when I
transfer from bank A to B it goes A -> Assets:Transfer and
Assets:Transfer -> B. Same for credit card payments, etc. Eventually
(or sometimes) Assets:Transfer should go to 0.
Of course, sometimes I don't end up with 0 and I need to find out why.
This can be tricky since there are so many transactions. I ended up
with -339.47 today and of course there was no transaction for 339.47.
So I was wondering how to make it easier. I was thinking: "what if I
could just match all amounts".
Turns out you can:
ledger -f 2018 bal assets:transfer -l "commodity == 'USD'" --account
"abs(amount)"
229.45 USD 229.45 USD:Assets:Transfer
-253.22 USD 253.22 USD:Assets:Transfer
-315.70 USD 315.70 USD:Assets:Transfer
--------------------
-339.47 USD
Now I can figure out where the matching transactions are.
