Hi there,
I use assertions for account statements, opening & closing balances
etc.
I have quarterly reporting requirements for my business and would like
to add some additional assertions for some of the top level accounts
(Expenses, Income). I don't seem to be able to make this work.
In a test file:
2015/10/01 Light Refreshments
MyCompany:Expenses:LightRefreshments $4.55
MyCompany:Liabilities:AP:LightRefreshments
$ ledger -f test.ledger bal
0 MyCompany
$4.55 Expenses:LightRefreshments
$-4.55 Liabilities:AP:LightRefreshments
--------------------
0
$ ledger -f test.ledger bal ^MyCompany:Expenses --depth 2
$4.55 MyCompany:Expenses
But when I assert a balance for the Expense account, it errors:
2015/12/31 MyCompany:Expenses closing balance
MyCompany:Expenses $0.00 = $4.55
Equity:Dummy
$ ledger -f test.ledger bal
While parsing posting:
MyCompany:Expenses $0.00 = $4.55
^^^^^
Error: Balance assertion off by $4.55
I remember this coming up in the ML in the past, but can't find a
reference. I want to refactor some of my accounts & transactions, but
want to avoid breaking the resultant value for top level accounts
(since the data has already been reported to the government and I
don't want that to change by my refactoring :)).
Any suggestions on how to do what I want?
Thanks,
Chris
