New issue 411: Balance directive allows $0.01 discrepancy https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/411/balance-directive-allows-001-discrepancy
Owen Heisler: A balance directive will pass even when the balance does not exactly match. For example: ``` 2019-01-01 open Assets:Cash USD 2019-01-01 open Income:Work USD 2019-01-01 * "got cash" Assets:Cash 25.00 USD Income:Work 2019-01-02 balance Assets:Cash 25.01 USD ``` This passes: ``` $ bean-report test.beancount balances Assets:Cash 25.00 USD Equity Expenses Income:Work -25.00 USD Liabilities ``` However, if it is $0.02 off: ``` 2019-01-01 open Assets:Cash USD 2019-01-01 open Income:Work USD 2019-01-01 * "got cash" Assets:Cash 25.00 USD Income:Work 2019-01-02 balance Assets:Cash 25.02 USD ``` Then it’s a problem: ``` $ bean-report test.beancount balances /tmp/test.beancount:8: Balance failed for 'Assets:Cash': expected 25.02 USD != accumulated 25.00 USD (0.02 too little) 2019-01-02 balance Assets:Cash 25.02 USD Assets:Cash 25.00 USD Equity Expenses Income:Work -25.00 USD Liabilities ``` -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
