Hi, Here is what I do: When I buy the item, part of it is not for me, so I have a transaction that looks like
reimbursments:john doe 30EUR expenses:something 30EUR assets:checking:mybank -60EUR This acts the fact that john doe owes me 30EUR (which I can see in the reimbursments bucket) Then later when he reimburses me: assets:checking:mybank 30EUR reimbursments:john doe -30EUR And I can see that the reimbursments account is now at 0, so I’m even with john doe again :) Note that the reimbursment can be used in the inverse situation where he’s paying for something else for me: expense:restaurant 20EUR reimbursments:john doe -20EUR And then a similar transaction to the second one above when I reimburse him (Thu, Dec 22, 2022 at 10:52:59AM -0800) Jay Tindlebaum : > Hi, > > What's the correct way to handle a bank transfer received for the purpose > of paying a shared expense? > > I've just entered it as two bank accounts assets, i.e. > > dr assets:checking:[my bank] > cr assets:checking:[other person bank] > > but then, the system is assuming both as my assets (which is not). > > I presume I could consider the bank transfer as an income, but it not an > income. > > Thank you for your feedback. > > -- > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ledger" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ledger-cli/cef9c7a8-d6f8-4522-8741-4548175fc908n%40googlegroups.com. > Hi, > What's the correct way to handle a bank transfer received for the purpose > of paying a shared expense? > I've just entered it as two bank accounts assets, i.e. > dr assets:checking:[my bank] > cr assets:checking:[other person bank] > but then, the system is assuming both as my assets (which is not). > I presume I could consider the bank transfer as an income, but it not an > income. > Thank you for your feedback. > > -- > > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Ledger" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [1][email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > > [2]https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ledger-cli/cef9c7a8-d6f8-4522-8741-4548175fc908n%40googlegroups.com. > > References > > Visible links > 1. mailto:[email protected] > 2. > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/ledger-cli/cef9c7a8-d6f8-4522-8741-4548175fc908n%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer -- Ismael -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
