Greetings
I have been using ledger-cli for a number of years and it works and
that is very good (even though most would view my grasp of the whole
project is poor (I've learned to do what I need to do and nothing
else)).
Am in the process of starting another business and doing my
bookkeeping is something that I would like to delegate. There are two
things that would impede this idea.
1. Business use of personal expenses. This means that for something
like a vehicle expense its not just charged to a account instead it
goes to 4 accounts.
1. business portion to a business account
2. personal portion to a personal account
3. taxes associated with the business portion go to a business account
4. taxes associated with the personal portion go to a personal account
What makes it more challenging is that the percentages are different
for different things. The same rule is used for the same item at
different times but there are a number of different items and the
percentages are different between the items. There may even be a
change in those percentages over time if my logging shows that the
business use portion changes.
Presently I do this using percentages that I store mentally and then I
use a calculator to calculate the amounts for each of the value
(corresponding to different account connected to each item). Looking
for a way to enter item into say one account and then ledger morphs
things into all the connected accounts in question. (I'm told this is
part of what is called cost accounting.)
Secondly - - - with saving things into a text file there doesn't seem
to be any way of using ledger-cli say in a multi-user kind of fashion.
I.e. one person perhaps entering invoices another checking for
payments (or not) or perhaps even more. Not sure if this is at all
practical and/or doable but thought I would toss the question out
there.
(I have spend a lot of time and effort installing a number of open
source 'accounting' systems and so far they either fall far short on
what's promised and they don't want to install without hiring some
kind of 'expert' that doesn't live within at least a few 1000
miles/kilometers of me. As I have found ledger 'works' it would be
quite nice to just continue using it!)
Regards
Dee
