Re: Getting started; assigning accounts to bank .csv data

Hi Stefano, I agree. Many things should be more straightforward and better documented. I think we could pick out a few common tasks to focus our tool-building/documenting efforts on. Eg: 1. importing bank data and CSV generally. All of the tools and basic generic workflows for this should be

Re: Getting started; assigning accounts to bank .csv data

One way to do two-stage cheques would be something like 2016/1/25 * My Favourite Shop Expenses:Groceries $100 Liabilities:Unprocessed Checks 2016/1/31 * Check clearing Liabilities:Unprocessed Checks $100 Assets:Checking Account You could assuredly add metadata to link the two

Ah, sure, if there's a 1:1 mapping between unprocessed accounts and main accounts. (Perhaps Assets:Checking:Unprocessed Checks?) On Wed, Feb 3, 2016 at 9:32 PM, Michael Norrish wrote: > A balance command mentioning those two accounts would sum to the amount you >

Re: Getting started; assigning accounts to bank .csv data

I have a custom elisp mode that sucks in csv from my bank and sticks it in my ledger. The emacs ledger mode has enough built in autocompletion that hand rntering a few xavts here and there isnt onerous. Its all about the editor. On Monday, February 1, 2016, John Hendy wrote:
