Re: How to split expenses
Continuing the trip with a friend…. I renamed the accounts suggested by John from Assets:Payable:DF to Assets:Receivable:DF. Regarding the Liabilities:DF and Liabilities:Payable:DF. Actually Liabilities:Payable is kind of redundant.. maybe Liabilities:DF is enough. when I paid something for us, I record the total cost and add in Assets:Receivable:DF the fact that he owe me half of the expense: 2023/01/07 Place1 Expenses:Food EU 6,00 Assets:Receivable:DFEU 6,00 Assets:Wise When he paid something, I recorded that I owe him half of the total. This turned out to be the simpler alternative as Yuri's suggestion. But the alternative in the message below is interesting too, adding a little bit of extra complexity to move between Assets:Receivable:DF and Liabilities:DF, but I can do that once in the end of the trip. 2023/01/02 Sample Expenses:Food EU 6,00 ; total EU 12,00 Liabilities:DF But how to record when both of us paid some different amount of the same expense? Maybe this turns out to suggest to rethink the option for the case above? Below the total expense is EU 12,00 we should both pay EU 6,00, but I paid EU 10,00 and he paid only EU 2,00. Does it make sense? I am trying to record that I would add 6 to the amount he owe me, but at the same transaction, I am also removing EU 2,00 from that because he is giving EU 2,00. But I am not touching in the Liabilities:DF 2023/01/17 Place3 Expenses:Food EU 6,00 Assets:Receivable:DFEU 6,00 Assets:Receivable:DF EU -2,00 Assets:Cash EU -10,00 Best, Alexandre > On 12 Jan 2023, at 14:23, Yuri Khan wrote: > > On Thu, 12 Jan 2023 at 19:10, Alexandre Rademaker > wrote: > >> I see your point and you are right that using the second entry below would >> be simpler and record the fact that I owe ‘DF’ 3 euros.
