Wouldn't these be modelled as Accounts-Receivable and Accounts-Payable.

e.g., instead of beangulp generating

  2025-01-15 * "line noise xxx electric company xxx line noise"
     Assets:IN:Bank -500 INR
     Expenses:Electricity

we could manually enter, or have your budgeting system generate:

  2025-01-01 * "Budget for electricity"
     Liabilities:Payable:Electric-Company -500 INR
      Expenses:Electricity

and then have beangulp generate:

   2025-01-15 * "line noise xxx electric company xxx line noise"
     Assets:IN:Bank -500 INR
     Liabilities:Payable:Electric-Company
  ;; optional, but maybe a good idea?
  2025-01-15 balance Liabilities:Payable:Electric-Company 0 INR
