I've written a command-line tool for my own personal use that implements basic assertions.
For my part, I've found this incredibly useful. I've used GnuCash for only a couple of months but this tool has already uncovered several errors that crept in after reconciliation. I've published this on github for anyone who is interested: https://github.com/armanschwarz/gnucash_balance_assertions";>https://github.com/armanschwarz/gnucash_balance_assertions Usage is ./gnc_assert.py [path] [assertion regex] -d [digits] So for example I've started adding zero-balance transactions with the format "Balance Assertion: 123.45" at the date of each bank statement. Then I provide the tool with the path to my gnucash accounts file, the regex that digs the balance out of the balance assertion format that I use (in my case this would be something like "(?<=Balance Assertion:)\d*\.\d\d" and provide "2" as the number of decimal places to compare, so: ./gnc_assert.py path/to/account.gnucash "(?<=Balance Assertion: )\d*\.\d\d" 2 Output looks like this: found 0 assertions in account 'Current Assets': found 5 assertions in account 'Bank account A': 2018-02-28: checking value 123.45 against balance of 123.45...OK 2018-03-31: checking value 234.56 against balance of 230.56...ERROR 2018-04-30: checking value 223.45 against balance of 223.45...OK found 0 assertions in account 'Fixed Assets': found 1 errors! -- Sent from: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/GnuCash-User-f1415819.html _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
