I am wondering how are people dealing with this kind of thing, since I don't have a solution. As an example, I buy plane tickets well in advance for my 2019 vacation, so I buy tickets in 2018. So I have transaction posting like so
2018/05/01 * Vacation tickets Expenses:Vacation 500 USD Assets:Checking I then go on the vacation in 2019 and make a bunch of transactions, all of them are dated 2019 of course. At some point in the future I run a balance report to answer the simple question, "how much did I spent on vacation in 2019?", which looks like so ledger bal Expenses:Vacation -b 2019 -e 2010 And of course the plane tickets are not going to be accounted for. How do you deal with this kind of thing, short of remembering that you have transactions in 2018, and I'd rather not rely on remembering it. I thought of just post dating the plane ticket transaction to 2019 but that seems extremely hacky. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
