I get "Error: Only one posting with null amount allowed per transaction" when importing CSV file
Hello,
A new user to ledger here. I have a tmp.csv file that contains the
following:
--8<---cut here---start->8---
date,,,payee,,debit,credit
2023-04-22,2023-04-24,0311,COSTCO WHSE#1322,Merchandise,,10.99
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
But I get an error when running the command:
husain@localhost:~/Finance$ ledger convert tmp.csv --input-date-format
"%Y-%m-%d" --rich-data -f personal.dat
While parsing file "/home/husain/Finance/tmp.csv", line 1:
While parsing CSV line:
2023-04-22,2023-04-24,0311,COSTCO WHSE#1322,Merchandise,,10.99
Error: Only one posting with null amount allowed per transaction
I get the same error as well if I run the following:
husain@localhost:~/Finance$ ledger convert tmp.csv --input-date-format
"%Y-%m-%d" --rich-data -f personal.dat --account Assets:Bank --invert
While parsing file "/home/husain/Finance/tmp.csv", line 1:
While parsing CSV line:
2023-04-22,2023-04-24,0311,COSTCO WHSE#1322,Merchandise,,10.99
Error: Cannot negate an uninitialized amount
I am not sure what is going on. Guidance would be appreciated.
Note that I am running into this issue after consulting the
documentation in:
https://ledger-cli.org/doc/ledger3.html#The-convert-command
The documentation includes a command similar to the one listed above. I
also consulted the man page. However, the man page is not clear on how
to use the convert command as it does not group the options together. I
am, for example, unsure what the "-f" flag does here.
Thanks,
Husain

Error: Only one posting with null amount allowed per transaction because of note
I've noticed that adding a note to a periodic entry without specifying the redundant transaction values produces a null amount error: # this works fine: $ cat /tmp/sample ~ monthly ; note assets:checking $1,000.00 income:work:salary -$1,000.00 $ ledger --forecast d[2011] reg -f /tmp/sample 10-Dec-01 Forecast transaction assets:checking $1,000.00 $1,000.00 10-Dec-01 Forecast transaction income:work:salary $-1,000.000 # removing the redundant info from the entry breaks it for some reason: $ cat /tmp/sample ~ monthly ; note assets:checking $1,000.00 income:work:salary $ ledger --forecast d[2011] reg -f /tmp/sample While parsing file /tmp/sample, line 4: While parsing periodic transaction: ~ monthly ; note assets:checking $1,000.00 income:work:salary Error: Only one posting with null amount allowed per transaction # this works without notes: $ cat /tmp/sample ~ monthly assets:checking $1,000.00 income:work:salary [pl...@durandal ledger]$ ledger --forecast d[2011] reg -f /tmp/ sample 10-Dec-01 Forecast transaction assets:checking $1,000.00 $1,000.00 10-Dec-01 Forecast transaction income:work:salary $-1,000.000 $ ledger --version Ledger 3.0.0-20100623, the command-line accounting tool I expect all three cases to not fail with an error.
