Why does the balance assertion not match any given date? I make a balance assertion every month on the statement day. One needs to be cautious that the balance assertion occurs at the beginning of the day, prior to any real transactions: If you your statement day is 03, you should use "XXXX-XX-04 balance Liabilities:XX" to assert your credit card balance. Martin is also working on a new directive "balance_end", enabling user to insert balance assertions at the end of day: https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/118/create-a-balance_end-directive > > On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 8:41 PM yegle <[email protected]> wrote: > > If you have one balance assertion for each statement, you'll be able to > reconcile each billing cycle separately. > > On Sun, May 8, 2016 at 2:01 PM, Jason Chu <[email protected]> wrote: > > Every time I import transactions from my credit card the balance > lines never match up.
