Hi all,
as I mentioned previously, I finally decided to finish my booklet about
Ledger, and I really want to show how to do budgeting with it.
However, I myself cannit grok it. Please help.
Here is my example file (totally fake).
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
~ Daily
Expenses:Food 30.00 PLN
Assets
~ Monthly
Expenses:Books 200.00 PLN
Assets
2022-01-02 Groceries
Expenses:Food 20.00 PLN
Assets:Cash
2022-01-03 C.S.Lewis "That hideous strength"
Expenses:Books 45.00 PLN
Assets:Cash
2022-01-03 Groceries
Expenses:Food 100.00 PLN
Assets:Cash
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I ran a budgeting command against this file, and I don't know how to
interpret its output.
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ ledger reg -f budget-example.ledger ^expenses -b 2022-01-01 -e 2022-01-04 -y
%Y-%m-%d --invert --budget
2022-01-02 Budget transaction Expenses:Food 30.00 PLN 30.00 PLN
2022-01-01 Budget transaction Expenses:Books 200.00 PLN 230.00 PLN
2022-01-02 Groceries Expenses:Food -20.00 PLN 210.00 PLN
2022-01-03 Budget transaction Expenses:Food 30.00 PLN 240.00 PLN
2022-01-03 C.S.Lewis "..." Expenses:Books -45.00 PLN 195.00 PLN
2022-01-03 Groceries Expenses:Food -100.00 PLN 95.00 PLN
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
1. Why is there no "budget transaction" for groceries for 2022-01-01?
2. I would assume that after these three days my "books" budget should
allow me to spend 155 PLN more on books and my "food" budget would
be short of 30 PLN. Yet I can see neither of these amounts in the
report. How to make Ledger compute them?
TIA,
