I love ledger and I'm really grateful and happy I found it :-)
I've been using virtual transactions for a few months but I'm not yet
happy with the way I'm doing it. I have transactions like this:
2017-10-01 * Opening Balance
Assets:CurrentAccount $1000
Equity:OpeningBalances
2017-10-02 * Savings
[Funds:Saving] $100
[Assets:CurrentAccount] $-100
When I find out my current account balance, I have something like this
(I'm still not yet importing transactions from my bank, so I'm just
adding adjustments periodically):
2017-10-03 * Balance
Assets:CurrentAccount = $ 900 ; really $1000
Equity:Adjustments
My problem is that I'd like to record the real balance of
Assets:CurrentAccount ($1000) somewhere (aside from the comment), rather
than only the virtual balance ($900). Partly because that's "ground
truth" that I'd like to directly record, and partly because otherwise
I'm currently doing the calculation $1000 - $100 myself rather than
letting ledger do that for me, which seems a bit error prone and more
work than needed.
Is there a means of doing that?
Am I doing it all wrong and there's a better way to achieve my goal
using different features?
