ledger-myexpenses

=================

Import tool for a nice android app [MyExpenses](https://github.com/mtotschnig/MyExpenses) by [Michael Totschnig](http://michael.totschnig.org)

Features

--------

* Use category as a counter-party

* Classifies assets between cash, bank etc. I.e. accounts like

  `Assets:Cash:Wallet` where `Wallet` is the name of the book

* Support for split transactions

* Aggregation of multiple transaction within a same second as a multi-posting

  transaction

Suggested workflow

------------------

* Maintain both ledger journal and MyExpenses.

* Keep account names and payees in MyExpenses in sync with main ledger journal.

* You may want to have root categories with names like `Expenses:Food` and

  assets like `Bank:Card`.

* If you need to generate transaction with multi-way 3+ postings you can create

  them with command "Save and new" which effectively keeps exact time.

* Periodically backup data from MyExpenses and append output of this tool to

  ledger journal.

* Sort generated transaction as you like but keep `refs:...` tags intact.

Pass `--excludes` option to this tool with a path to file with full ledger

journal to avoid re-generating old transactions.

If your journal is scattered over multiple files you can use output of

`ledger print`.

Under `bash` you can use `ledger print | ./ledger_myexpenses.py -x -`.

Under `zsh` you can use `./ledger_myexpenses.py -x <(ledger print)`.
