Yes, they are the same. They used to be called effective dates in ledger to differentiate between a booking date and the effective date of the transaction (e.g. you buy dinner today but it shows up on your credit card statement two days later: 2019-01-17=2019-01-15). However, this is just a common way to use effective dates. You can assign whatever meaning you want. Ledger's philosophy is not to assign meaning, so nowadays they are just called auxiliary dates (with whatever meaning you assign) as opposed to the primary date. The manual is quite inconsistent in terms of the terms unfortunately. -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
