Hello!
What is the best way (approach) to deal with different commodities that are
convertible between them?
Let's suppose I want to work with different units of the same commodity.
Example: BTC and SAT (Satoshis). 1 BTC is = 100,000,000 SAT - Is there a
way to tell to Ledger-CLI that these currencies are the same (or
convertible between them) and if I could use both freely and get the report
in only one unit?
For example:
2021-09-06 Test
Assets:Checking
Expenses:Food:Groceries 0.00010000 BTC
2021-09-06 Test
Assets:Checking
Expenses:Food:Groceries 10,000 SAT
Both entries are exactly the same thing, but the report:
ledger -f draft.ledger balance
-0.00010000 BTC
-10,000 SAT Assets:Checking
0.00010000 BTC
10,000 SAT Expenses:Food:Groceries
I can do this:
commodity SAT
note Satoshis
format 1,000 SAT
commodity BTC
note Bitcoin
format 1,000.00000000 SAT
define BTC_TO_SAT=100,000,000 SAT
2021-09-06 Test
Assets:Checking
Expenses:Food:Groceries (0.00010000 * BTC_TO_SAT)
2021-09-06 Test
Assets:Checking
Expenses:Food:Groceries 10,000 SAT
To result in:
-20,000 SAT Assets:Checking
20,000 SAT Expenses:Food:Groceries

But maybe there is a better way to deal with that?
Thank you.
