Hi guys,
I'm using ledger for tracking car expenses [1] and I'm getting confused
with fixing lot prices.
Let's say I have this example (L is for liters):
2018/03/13 * Fuel
Expenses:Car:Fuel 23.700 L @ EUR 2.10
(Expenses:Car:Mileage) = 116666 km
Assets:Wallet EUR -49.77
and when I use command:
ledger -X EUR reg
it will correctly calculate liter price and show in euro currency. In my
country we also have tax on fuel, calculated by formula 'N L * 0.01'. If
I add this as:
2018/03/13 * Fuel
Expenses:Car:Fuel 23.700 L @ EUR 2.10
Expenses:Car:Fuel:Tax 23.700 L @ EUR 0.01
(Expenses:Car:Mileage) = 116666 km
Assets:Wallet EUR -50.01
now ledger register report looks like this:
18-Mar-13 Fuel Expenses:Car:Fuel EUR 0.24 EUR 0.24
<Adjustment> EUR -0.01 EUR 0.23
Expenses:Car:Fuel:Tax EUR 0.24 EUR 0.47
(Expenses:Car:Mileage) km116666 EUR 0.47
km116666
Assets:Wallet EUR -50.01 EUR -49.54
km116666
which is kind of wrong - it is starting to use last value to calculate
EUR/Liter.
After catching [2], I've tried to fix price (although I'd like to keep
fluctuating capability of this comodity so I could handle case: "how
much all my spent fuel would cost in year XXXX") with this, omitting
mileage:
2018/03/13 * Fuel
Expenses:Car:Fuel 23.700 L {=EUR 2.10}
Expenses:Car:Fuel:Tax 23.700 L {=EUR 0.01}
Assets:Wallet EUR -50.01
and ledger started to complain with this report:
---------------------
Unbalanced remainder is:
EUR -50.01
23.700 L {=EUR 0.01}
23.700 L {=EUR 2.10}
Amount to balance against:
23.700 L {=EUR 0.01}
23.700 L {=EUR 2.10}
Error: Transaction does not balance
---------------------
However, if I change {=EUR ...} to =EUR ... like here:
2018/03/13 * Fuel
Expenses:Car:Fuel 23.700 L @ =EUR 2.10
Expenses:Car:Fuel:Tax 23.700 L @ =EUR 0.01
Assets:Wallet EUR -50.01
register report is doing proper calculation and balancing.
Anyone has any idea what is going on here? If I'm getting documentation
from [2] correct, my last two examples should be equal and valid, but
obviously they are not for ledger.
Best regards,
Sanel
