Re: Balance assertions problems

Ledger cares a lot about the order of transactions, and doesn't care much
for dates in many ways.

HLedger and Beancount both ignore the order of transactions, and only care
about dates.

Balance assertions problems

[Eduardo Elias]

Hi, 

I was having problems using *Balance assertions, Balance Assignments and 
Resetting Balance*.

I found what was causing the error, but I would like to report to know if 
it is a working as design case or a bug.

If transactions are being registered from newer to older. 

 fuel.ledger =

2018-01-06 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-05 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-04 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-02 * Rebalance
Bank=100.00 USD
Openning:Balance

==

$ ledger -f test.ledger 
bal 
   

  100.00 USD  
Bank
 

   60.00 USD  Expenses:Fuel
 -160.00 USD  Openning:Balance (OB)

   0

Bank will have 100.00 USD forever. Bank account becomes a permanent 
redirect to OB.


If the re-balance happens in the middle it would lock on Bank any value 
left to it, and will redirect to OB.



2018-01-07 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-06 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-02 * Rebalance
Bank=100.00 USD ; date is older, but 
transaction got moved.
Openning:Balance

2018-01-05 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

2018-01-04 * Fuel
Expenses:Fuel 20.00 USD
Bank

 

ledger -f fuel.ledger 
bal 
   

   60.00 USD  
Bank
 

   80.00 USD  Expenses:Fuel
 -140.00 USD  Openning:Balance

   0


My understanding was that Ledger wouldn't care about the order of the 
transactions, but looks like if you are using Balance Assertions it does.
