Hello, Firstly, I wanted to compliment you on this brilliant project (and your excellent documentation in particular on double-entry accounting, useful particularly for people already working in technical fields). I had a question about balance assertions for investment accounts. Specifically, suppose I have the following two (and only two transactions) for Fidelity:
Assets:US:Fidelity:SPAXX 10 USD Assets:US:Fidelity:FNILX 20 USD I would like to do a balance assertion on the sum of these accounts in time, i.e. 2020-01-01 balance Assets:US:Fidelity 30 USD rather than asserting the balance of each individual sub-account (my reasons for this have to do with parsing html statements from Fidelity, which can be real pain if you are parsing via sub-account, but pretty straight-forward if parsing the total account amounts). What are your suggestions for best going about this? I could always mirror-log a transaction to the combined Assets:US:Fidelity account whenever I log the same transaction to a subaccount, but that seems a bit cumbersome (and I would have to balance the transaction via a negative amount to some Expense account created for this purpose, which strikes me as inelegant). Any suggestions are welcome :). Thanks again for your work. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
