I'm a long-time Ledger user but new to beancount. I moved, because I think
I see functionality I can use right now (so thanks!).
I'm starting by trying to handle some investments, and I'm stuck on a
seemingly simple transaction that gets the above error.
The goal:
- Open a few accounts for a stock. In this case, I have an account of
certificated shares and an account of book-entry shares at a broker.
- Acquire shares as certificates, and then move them to book entry.
The code (excerpted and cleaned*)
1970-01-01 open Assets:Certs:AAPL
1970-01-01 open Assets:MYBroker:AAPL
1983-01-05 * "A Note"
Assets:Certs:AAPL 20 AAPL {34.31 USD, 1983-01-05}
Assets:Cash:Basis
1983-04-05 * "A Note"
Assets:Certs:AAPL 18 AAPL {47.57 USD, 1983-04-05}
Assets:Cash:Basis
1983-05-10 * "stock move"
Assets:MYBroker:AAPL 20 AAPL {1983-01-05}
Assets:MYBroker:AAPL 18 AAPL {1983-04-05}
Assets:Certs:AAPL -20 AAPL {1983-01-05}
Assets:Certs:AAPL -18 AAPL {1983-04-05}
; zero local shares now
1983-05-11 balance Assets:Certs:AAPL 0 AAPL
If I run bean-report filename print on that (real) file, i get
"beancount:84: Failed to categorize posting 1", where 84 points to the
first leg of the "stock move" transaction. I also get the same error on
line 85, the second leg. If I swap the first two legs with the second two,
the error follows the "MBroker" legs.
The subsequent balance assertion obviously fails.
Any tips? It's probably obvious, but I can't see it.
Thanks,
Bill
* Has anyone ever made a routine to "clean"--remove PII--from a beancount
file? I don't really want to share my financial information, but I know
it's often useful to share actual data files. It would be nice to have a
script that could take entries such as Assets:Certificate:AAPL and turn
turn it into something like Assets:LevelA1:LevelB1 or the like.
