For a similar use case I use automated transactions https://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Automated-Transactions that split every transaction in two parts, like ``` = expr account =~ /Liabilities:[a-zA-z0-9]*$/ and aux_date >= [2020/05] $account -1.0 $account:from User1 (roundto(0.6*amount, 0)) $account:from User2 (amount-roundto(0.6*amount, 0)) ``` where the 0.6 means that User1 should cover 60% of the costs and User2 only 40%. If the two should pay the same then just use 0.5. Also, if your currency uses fractional parts (as in your example) then the second parameter to `roundto()` should not be 0, probably 2. Then if all your transactions look like ``` 2021-12-03=2021-12-05 Amazon Expenses:Presents 2000 JPY Liabilities:User1 2021-12-05=2021-12-07 eBay Expenses:Presents 3000 JPY Liabilities:User2 ``` then you get a balance such as ``` 5000 JPY Expenses:Presents -5000 JPY Liabilities -2000 JPY User1 -1200 JPY from User1 -800 JPY from User2 -3000 JPY User2 -1800 JPY from User1 -1200 JPY from User2 -------------------- 0 ``` and then you can look at the minimum of "User1:from User2" and "User2:from User1" and compute the reimbursement account. I guess this is more complicated than what you need for your use case, but it served me well because it generalizes well to non-equal contributions, and also I can have a User3 make some purchases that will then be reimbursed by User1 and User2 in the same ratio as everything else.
