*Question 2: *The documentation says: - *Transaction dates: Each posting can have its own date, allowing transactions to balance even if individual postings have different dates. This helps with common issues when transferring money between accounts where withdrawal and deposit dates differ.* How do you achieve this, if initially the database is created by importing beancount file, which has only one date per transaction? On import into the database, we assign the beancount transaction date to each posting. On export to a beancount file, since beancount doesn't support dated postings, we use the date of the first posting for the transaction date. I hope this answers your questions. If you have more queries or need further clarification, I'm happy to help. Best regards, Ben Thanks for the answer. but I am not sure I understand the workflow 1) You create a beancount file normal way 2) You import beancount file into the beanpost database. 3)Then you do some manipulations on the entries inside the beanpost which create the situation, equivalent of the beancount having different dates on postings, which belong to the same transaction. Is this correct? Or do you you create new entries, which are not coming from beancount? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
