That's exactly what the effective_date <https://github.com/redstreet/beancount_reds_plugins/tree/main/beancount_reds_plugins/effective_date#readme> plugin I pointed to above does automatically, BTW. Zerosum is related: it doesn't split it for you, but matches pairs of transactions in the transfer account and moves them out to help you figure out the unmatched ones easily.

Beancount doesn't support doing this automatically, but it's a small project one day that it will (mainly for credit card to bank transactions).

This was driving the person crazy because they were reconciling and the dollars were off. But also transactions were accounted for. How do y’all typically handle transactions that have different dates for each leg? I’ve temporarily split the transaction into two and placed the opposing legs in an account under equity. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
