You need more whitespace.
- An account name on the entry line must be prefixed with at least one space.
- An account name must end with two or more spaces, or one or more tabs.
Per the docs:
| There must be at least two spaces, or a tab, between the amount and the
| account. If you do not have adequate separation between the amount and the
| account Ledger will give an error and stop calculating.
So easy fix for you:
2024/04/08 * Balance Assertion:Ally_Savings
Assets:Ally_Savings $0.00 = $47.19
