Yes this can be confusing, here's some more context: - http://ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Balance-verification - http://hledger.org/MANUAL.html#balance-assertions
and for some examples there's the included functional tests. Balance assertions are desirable to provide extra "compile-time guarantees" about the correctness of your data, since *ledger is so permissive. They help you avoid messing up balances while editing. Balance assignment/resetting is something most people would rarely use. I can see it is occasionally useful to be able to specify an account's balance in absolute terms though. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
