I thought a really good use of bucket would be for the various opening balances.
It doesn't seem to work for items with multiple postings.
This example doesn't use bucket the way that I thought it would:
wcravens@aberforth:~/Sandbox/ledger$ cat scratch.dat
; Test Bucket
bucket Equity:Opening Balances
2013/09/01 Opening Balances
Assets:Checking $1,000.00
Assets:Saving $500.00
wcravens@aberforth:~/Sandbox/ledger$ ledger --args-only -f scratch.dat b
While parsing file "/home/wcravens/Sandbox/ledger/scratch.dat", line 8:
While balancing transaction from "/home/wcravens/Sandbox/ledger/scratch.dat",
lines 6-8:
> 2013/09/01 Opening Balances
> Assets:Checking $1,000.00
> Assets:Saving $500.00
Unbalanced remainder is:
$1,500.00
Amount to balance against:
$1,500.00
Error: Transaction does not balance
Is what I'm trying to do here supposed to be possible?
