Hi,
I just recently found and started using beancount, and have been having fun
converting my old financial records to it. Most of the transaction types I
was able to correctly enter and balance but have been unable to figure out
what is wrong with one particular item:
I'm trying to record a 8:1 split that happened for GE last year.
2021-08-02 * "Reverse Split GE 1 for 8"
Assets:Robinhood:GE -37.704432 GE {} @ 12.965 ; three lots with
different prices
Assets:Robinhood:GE 4 GE {103.72 USD}
Assets:Robinhood:Cash 73.96 USD
So the 32 old stocks were converted into 4 new, and for the residual of
(new) 0.713 the cash was paid out.
Now here's the problem, whichever way I tried to turn this transaction I'm
not able to balance it, seems like beancount calculates the sale at the
cost in the first leg (no matter what price I put after @ it doesn't seem
to be used) and therefore says that the transaction is not balanced.
What can I be doing wrong? other than having long fractional quantities and
prices, everything else (seems to me) is straight out of the docs... any
advice would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Zurab
