This is perhaps a second question, but I'm confused as to the meaning of
Ledger's filter expressions.
When you say:
ledger reg assets:receivable and @CBI
Does it mean:
Select all the POSTINGS with account Assets:Receivable
AND
select all the TRANSACTIONS with payee "CBI"?
I don't quite understand in Ledger whether you're selecting
- postings,
- transactions, or perhaps
- all the postings of matching transactions.
Can somebody shed some light on this?
