Thanks Martin. It's reassuring to discover that this 'fault' is by design. What's even better is the discovery that I've actually done it "right"... my Incomes are indeed negative values as it stands. So nothing to do here, glad I asked. Whilst reading I discovered this... We just use additions everywhere and learn to keep in mind that > Liabilities, Equity and Income accounts normally have a negative balance. > While this is unconventional, it’s much easier to grok. And If there is a > need to view a conventional report with positive numbers only, we will be > able to trigger that in reporting code (4), inverting the signs just to > render them in the output. > > (4) This is not provided yet in Beancount, but would be trivial to > implement. All we'd need to do is invert the signs of balances from > Liabilities, Income and Equity accounts. It's on the roadmap to provide > this eventually. > Is it really? On a roadmap?
