Hi all, just started using Beancount a few days back, had been using Ledger before.
I'm struggling to get a pad transaction working in my new beancount ledger. 1. create the pad transaction 2023-08-01 pad Assets:Debt:Friend Equity:Opening-Balance 2. A few transactions on this Debt account follow 2023-08-29 * "Paid to cash" Assets:Savings -60.45 USD Assets:Debt:Friend 2023-08-29 * "Paid for xyz on my behalf" Assets:Debt:Friend -342.56 USD Expenses:Something 3. Then I do a balance assertion, to update the balance to the correct amount in my other account ledger 2023-08-31 balance Assets:Debt:Friend 1000 USD And then I get the following errors in Fava: Unused Pad entry Balance failed for 'Assets:Debt:Friend': expected so and so USD != accumulated XYZ USD (ABC too little) My understanding was that the pad directive would automatically update the Assets:Debt:Friend account to match the balance assertion, by making a suitable entry towards Equity. But it doesnt seem to be working that way. Any advice appreciated! Thanks, Sagar -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
