I'm trying to get a list of currencies active as of a given date in order
to download prices. However, I get way more currencies than are truly
active because I have accounts that need average cost booking, which I've
so far booked this way until that feature is available:
2016-01-06 * "buy"
Assets:Inv 3 XYZ {9 USD}
Assets:Bank
2016-01-06 * "buy"
Assets:Inv 3 XYZ {10 USD}
Assets:Bank
2016-01-06 * "buy"
Assets:Inv 4 XYZ {11 USD}
Assets:Bank
2016-01-07 * "sell"
Assets:Inv -10 XYZ @ 8 USD
Assets:Bank 80 USD
Income:CapGains
So I really have zero units of XYZ. However, because of the way these are
booked, bean-price includes XYZ in its output. Given I have several such
cases, what is the best way to handle this? I can think of these:
- wait until average cost booking is available (will it solve this problem?)
- book the purchases above as prices instead of commodities held at cost
(will I lose the average cost of the commodity? How will I know the cost
basis to book profit and loss?)
- hack a way to get a list of commodities whose lots aggregate to zero, and
remove those from what bean-price lists?
- something else?
Thank you.
