Out of curiosity (I am not so acquainted with ledger) You made the following comment ,---- | However, you understandably would like to avoid the manual computations | needed with this process. The key to that is to | 1. use only a single account for liabilities between user, and use | the sign of this account's amount to determine who needs to pay | whom, and | 2. do the counterbalancing implicitly in each transaction. | | However, I feel that in particular (1) is somewhat contrary to the idea | of double-entry accounting, and by using only a single account for | directional liabilities you get quite a bit of asymmetry into the | automated transactions. `---- So I understand that using the solution below, in particular: $account -1.0 Means that I only use one account which is a bit contrary to the idea of double-entry accounting? But the second solution you propose looks complicated to me. I wounder that this common situation is so hm difficult to achieve Thanks again #+begin_src ledger = expr account =~ /Liabilities:User1$/ $account -1.0 Income:User1 1.0 Liabilities:User1-from-User2 (-(amount-roundto(0.5*amount, 0))) Income:User2 (amount-roundto(0.5*amount, 0)) = expr account =~ /Liabilities:User2$/ $account -1.0 Income:User2 (amount-roundto(0.5*amount, 0)) Liabilities:User1-from-User2 (roundto(0.5*amount, 0)) 2021-12-05=2021-12-07 User1 expenses:User1:Jacket 80 EUR Liabilities:User1 2021-12-05=2021-12-07 User1 expenses:User1:Pajama 30 EUR Liabilities:User1 2021-12-05=2021-12-07 User2 expenses:User2:Flowers 20 EUR Liabilities:User2 2021-12-05=2021-12-07 User2 expenses:User2:ChristmasTree 40.00 EUR Liabilities:User2 #+end_src > #+RESULTS: > #+begin_example > -195.00 EUR Income > -110.00 EUR User1 > -85.00 EUR User2 > 25.00 EUR Liabilities:User1-from-User2 > 170.00 EUR expenses > 110.00 EUR User1 > 80.00 EUR Jacket > 30.00 EUR Pajama > 60.00 EUR User2 > 40.00 EUR ChristmasTree > 20.00 EUR Flowers > -------------------- > 0 > #+end_example > The advantage is that I can control who spent money on what > In any case this is very nice thanks > Uwe -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
