Re virtual postings (I think of them as (non-balanced) and [separately-balanced] postings): I think it's good to allow them - the non-balanced kind, at least - as an escape valve, since most users are not expert in double entry bookkeeping starting out.
I also think there are times when they are a valid choice for an experienced user. For example I use them to note invoices I've sent, which otherwise would have no place in my cash-basis journal. These postings can easily be found and replaced with balanced postings later as you get more sophisticated. Sometimes strict correctness checking is a higher priority than short-term productivity. We should provide options to warn about/disallow them when a user prefers that. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
