Sometimes the date you purchase something and the date when it shows up on your account are different. It's annoying that the CSV and PDF don't agree. Some of my banks CSV contain both dates. But unfortunately we live in an imperfect world and there will be differences in the CSV and PDF sometimes. > I assume the only solution is to manually change the downloaded-transaction > date to match the PDF statement? Either that or you can add a transaction to make an adjustment to move it by a day to match the PDF (but imho that's even more messy). > Or is there a more elegant solution? There's a proposal for beancount to allow dates on postings itself, i.e. you could say this transaction is on this date but Assets:Bank (or Liabilities:Credit card in your card) is another date. This way, you could add the date from the PDF as a posting / settlement date. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x0qqWGRHi02ef-FtUW172SHkdJ8quOZD-Xli7r4Nl_k/ Unfortunately, the proposal hasn't been implemented yet, so this is only a possible future solution. ;) -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
