Hi,
I have some questions. Imagine the following scenario: I want to keep track
of payments of a couple of room rentals. Each year the guest is different,
therefore I create new accounts each year. So far I had a different file
per year, but I think it would be easier to have one file with org-mode
sections per year.
Here is an example of the accounts:
*** Accounts opening
2018-09-01 open Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*A* EUR
2018-09-01 open Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*B* EUR
*** 2018-10
2018-10-09 * "Mr. X: 30"
Assets:E:A:Banking:U:S
30 EUR
Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*A* -30 EUR
2018-10-16 * "Mr. Y: 30"
Assets:E:A:Banking:U:S
30 EUR
Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*B* -30 EUR
Then, the period ends and I need to close the account
2019-09-01 close Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*A*
2019-09-01 close Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*B*
Now a new period starts and I open a new account
2018-09-01 open Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*C* EUR
2018-09-01 open Income:E:A:Banking:U:S:A:Mr*D* EUR
And the whole thing repeats...
*First question: *Would those definitions be correct and make sense?
*Second question: *I guess I cannot (or should not) close Mr*A* and Mr*B*
accounts
if they are not zero in balance, however I would like to keep track of what
I earned in the Assets:E:A:Banking:U:S banking account. I would like MrA
and MrB accounts to disappear when I use bean-report, but I would like to
keep track of the money. I thought of creating a 2018 account an balance
against that account but I am unsure if this is the correct procedure. What
would be the correct way of doing this?
*Third question: *I use spacemacs and I would like to use emacs with
beancount to have autocomplete and format correctly the transactions. The
more the automation and less manual typing, the better. What would be the
good way to go?
*Fourth question: *Is it possible to embed beancount chunks within org-mode
files (with org-babel)? What would be the way to go, beancount files alone
or org-mode files with beancount chunks? I guess I cannot use bean-report
and the other tools with org-mode files with beancount chunks, right?
Thanks.
