So, do you have a way to automatically check that, for each expense report, your employee has actually reimbursed you the exact amount you've asked for? (It doesn't always happen with my employer, and when it doesn't I want to subsequently record a Income:Reimbursement gain / Expense:Reimbursement loss --- but I need a way to spot that first!) I've a work-flow similar to yours, but the problem I'm facing is that the Assets:Reimbursable (or Assets:Receivable FWIW) coalesces together all trips, so it's hard to check if a specific trip balances to zero. As an additional complexity, you might imagine a trip in which you've been reimbursed 10$ more, and another in which you've been reimbursed 10$ less; they sum up to zero but I'd like to see both of them as "errors" instead of concluding that everything is fine up to now. I've tried various combinations of --group-by / --pivot, but thus far I haven't found a precise solution to my problem. Any tips? (Of course using sub-accounts would solve this problem if, for instance, you start using one sub account per trip. But that seems overkill, not really elegant, and forces yo explicitly declare tons of accounts if you're using --strict.) Cheers. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . . . . . . .
