Hmm, i guess my example doesn't include any account transfers. My understanding is cost bases are attached to lots which are tracked in accounts. So if you have 100 ETH in account A and 100 ETH in account B, and you sell or transfer from Account A, it will FIFO the lots in Account A and ignore

TLDR: it's a hack to try to get beancount to carry cost basis along if that position is ever transferred to another account. There have been a bunch of discussions about this and to be honest, I'm not 100% confident in the current state of affairs. In general, beancount is not very reliable

Re: ATM Transaction that has Fee included in Total

First comment; the code withdrawal_amount % 2 != 0 checks for "evenness" in the sense of odd (1, 3, 5) vs even (2, 4, 6) numbers. This doesn't seem like what you'd want, since if your fee were $5 and you withdraw $100, it would count it one way, but if the fee were $2 it would count it the

Couple questions on cost tracking: *1. When are acquisition dates tracked in Cost objects vs. not?* The query that I use for generating inventory reports at a particular time is this: SELECT account, SUM(position) as lots, UNITS(SUM(position)) AS total, COST(SUM(position)) AS total_cost FROM

Thanks so much for the detailed reply. I'm slowly but surely wrapping my head around everything. On Tue, Jul 18, 2023 at 10:35 AM Daniele Nicolodi wrote: > [...] > There are two modalities in which you can operate, distinguished by what > you define to be the "source of truth": > > 1. you have

Lost cost?

I've got my first importer running, mostly works, but the cost I'm providing doesn't seem to be making it all the way through. A debug print shows this as the transaction I'm returning: Transaction(meta={'filename': '/home/...csv', 'lineno': 1}, date=datetime.date(2018, 1, 1), flag='*',

Thanks both, these look promising, I'll investigate. On Mon, Jul 17, 2023 at 6:01 PM Red S wrote: > > https://github.com/redstreet/beancount_reds_plugins/tree/main/beancount_reds_plugins/zerosum#readme > > On Monday, July 17, 2023 at 3:22:21 PM UTC-7 erical...@gmail.com wrote: > >> I see hooks

Deduplication & merging questions

I see hooks for dup deduction on importers, but the doc comments don't make it clear how those functions are used. Poking around the code, it appears that these are only run to dedup items within a single import. Is there any functionality to automatically match up legs of a transaction that

Workflow questions

There's a ton of documentation on the importers, but it doesn't say much about how data actually gets from the extractor into beancount. The only thing I can find is a sentence that mentions that bean-extract "produces some Beancount input text to be moved to your input file". Is the process of

Best path for some simple importers

I have a few CSV files with basic transactions (basically sent and received assets & amounts, plus commission cost). These are all I need to process. It would be pretty easy for me to just translate them line by line into Beancount format inputs, but I like to do things "the right way". Problem

Re: Is v2 > v3 still?

Oh, grepping around in the source reveals a note about Fava replacing bean-web? (bean-web is still what the docs discuss) Sorry -- you've written such extensive and well-written documentation I've been taking it as truth :) On Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 7:26 PM Eric Altendorf wrote: > Tha

Aha, looks like this is the page: https://beancount.github.io/docs/installing_beancount_v3.html I'll work from that. Just sharing the FYI that some of the install instructions / links seem to be misleading. On Sun, Jul 16, 2023 at 10:19 AM Eric Altendorf wrote: > On Fri, Jul 14, 2023 at 8

Questions for rigorous cap gains tracking

I'm looking into Beancount for the specific purpose of rigorous capital gains tracking for crypto transactions. I just read the docs, and now have a few questions, hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance! :) I'd like to run my own rules for booking (mostly HIFO, except able to select a
