that's my motto
my PTA survival tip :)
Nuts, wish Fava could let me visualize by payee -- that's one big downside to not using vendor sub-accounts (e.g. being able to have my TreeMap show me which vendor is being paid the most, rather than one big
Wages block)
I see fava has "fava.plugins.link_documents" as a listed plugin, but the documentation doesn't make it too clear if this is enabled by default or if I have to do something to make it work... Anybody here know how I can have documents appear as linked to my transactions?
Looks like I just have to type
plugin "fava.plugins.link_documents" in my ledger (btw what is the "noun" for a beancount document? is it ledger? recordset?)

how would you convert to cost or value with Beancount, like Ledger's -B or -V/-X ?
I'm pretty sure there's and example query in the docs and if not check the pta wiki?
If not I can dig up an example of you ping the thread again and I'm on my laptop
muonzoo (Alan Hawrylyshen) or anyone - a sample command line would be most welcome. There are a ton of docs
@muonzoo: here's an example, I'm wondering how to show cost and market value like this:
P 2022-01-01 A 3C
2022-01-01
(a) 1A @ 2B
comment
$ hledger bal -N
1A a
$ hledger bal -N -B
2B a
$ hledger bal -N -V
3C a
no, @putzwasser
I suggest you read the bean count docs on inventories
Thanks. If anyone can answer directly that will be ideal and appreciated
That doc is nice muonzoo (Alan Hawrylyshen) but assumes more beancount expertise than I have
those entries are incomplete, right ? "..."
and the commands are not shown
to recap: I'm looking for the beancount syntax and commands to report balances at cost and at market value
I don't know if that involves @ or {}, or if it has to involve lots/inventories as in that doc - I'm interested in simple non-investment transactions like a currency exchange
cost and value are very familiar reports in h/ledger but maybe beancount is more different than I think. Or I just haven't found the right docs.
I think you might want the holdings report
This shows you all assets by account and broken out into lots with cost and market value.

bean-report beanfile.beancount holdings if not there are other bean-reports that might work for you.
this is combined fava & beancount, am I right ?
or really more for fava ?

thanks for the command hints, that helped. bal -c shows cost and holdings shows value. Though, why is it not showing value above ?
There is also a useful plugin called ‘auto’ that will skip you needing to declare and open all accounts / commodities - I don’t recommend it for your real ledger but it is useful for testing / examples.
The examples we are working on now are just beancount - no fava.
right, I meant is this channel for beancount and fava both ? I have assumed that from the name
