I'm evaluating Beancount and like what I see so far.
I have variance in my cashflow due to varying income (autosale of stock),
and varying expenses (credit cards which autopay on a certain date).
I can write a script which updates these predicted future transactions and
include that file in my main ledger.
1. How would I then ask beancount to give me predicted balances over the
next 31 days? I want to know if my balance would ever be below X. I could
use a date library to iterate the next 31 days and then run bean-query with
a CLOSE ON filter. Any better way?
2. How do folks model predicted transactions?
1. Avoiding duplicate transactions when the predicted transaction
actually occurs: Ideally the speculative transaction would be replaced by
the real one via some configurable heuristics. I saw this was mentioned
as
a possible improvement in v3.
2. Modeling it in your ledger: I was thinking I'll have a separate
file containing my predicted transactions and have an include directive
for
the main ledger.
Thanks,
Ben
