README
A [beancount](https://beancount.github.io/docs/) plugin that automatically inserts a 0 balance check for closed balance sheet accounts.
A closing directive e.g.
```
2015-04-23 close Assets:Checking
```
will ensure transactions can not involve this account after that date.
However it will not check that the balance is 0 after closing.
This is what this plugin does. It's equivalent to adding:
```
2015-04-24 balance Assets:Checking 0 GBP
```
for all the commodities of that account.
There is a similarly named plugin within beancount ['check_closing'](https://beancount.github.io/docs/api_reference/beancount.plugins.html#beancount.plugins.check_closing)
but that plugin requires you to add metadata to the specific closing transaction.
Installation:
```
pip install git+https://github.com/daniel-wells/beancount_checkclosed.git
```
Usage:
Add the following line to your ledger file:
```
plugin "beancount_checkclosed.check_closed"
```
