I know this is slightly off topic to your question, but I have a feeling, that such feature would conflict with double entry accounting, because the fundamental idea of double entry that all postings happen exactly on the same moment, hence debit and credit (plus and minus in PTA terms) are always equal.
The situations, for which such feature was often requested that for instance you transfer money from Bank A to Bank B, but transfer takes a couple of days can be implemented with 2 transactions E.g. 2024-01-01 * "Transfer from Bank A to B initiated" Assets:BankA -1000 USD Assets:Funds-InTransfer 1000 USD 2024-01-03 * "Transfer from Bank A to B received" Assets:BankB 1000 USD Assets:Funds-InTransfer -1000 USD On Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 6:04:30 PM UTC+2 Oscar & Alejandra wrote: > I noticed there's some conversations about having individual posting dates > different from the transaction date. > > Here a question that was left unanswered: > https://groups.google.com/g/beancount/c/V06NuhD-V0o/m/uk8QaI-1oJMJ > > And here it is mentioned that this is a feature that is planned: > https://groups.google.com/g/beancount/c/0QeXy8h6fA8 > > I am using Beancount v3 from PyPI.
