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:Friend1000 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)
The example above works as expected for me. Your ledger must be invalid
for some other reason. Are these the only errors you get?
Cheers,
Dan
