Sharing expenses for dinner after adding up all expenses

[Matias]

Hi!

I'm starting to use beancount and I can't handle the registration of a particular situation.

Last night a friend invited a group of friends for a barbecue at his home.

Each invited person bought something to take (icecream, beer, wine, meat, etc)

Then we add up all expenses and share.

I spent AR$18000, and after adding up all the spent, each invited friend have to pay AR$6000. Then, I received a bank transfer from two friends for ARS6000 each.

How do I register this?

Thanks!

Matías.-

ups! some missing information.

I spent ar$18.000, buying:

    - ar$10.000 Icecream (Store A)

    - ar$18.000 Wine. (Store B)

- your outgoing expenses for AR$10000 and $ar18000

- your incoming transfer for AT$6000 from friend 1

- your incoming transfer for AT$6000 from friend 2

are all four separate transactions.

Add a unique link to all three.

Not sure there's more to it than that.

Looks like you overpaid by AR$10000

Thanks!

I was wrong in the second email. The correct spent was:

    - ar$10.000 Icecream (Store A)

    - ar$8.000 Wine. (Store B)

You could do something like the transactions below.

Note that there are a number of different ways this could be modeled,
including account names (e.g. Expenses:Party, Expenses:Food, etc).

You could also book the purchases of the food against
Assets:Receivable instead of Expenses and then book your Expenses when
you calculate the share of each party participant.

2000-01-01 open Expenses:Party
2000-01-01 open Assets:Cash
2000-01-01 open Assets:Receivable
2000-01-01 open Assets:Bank

2023-09-19 * "Store A" "Buy icecream for party"
Expenses:Party 10000 ARS
Assets:Cash -10000 ARS

2023-09-19 * "Store B" "Buy wine for party"
Expenses:Party 8000 ARS
Assets:Cash -8000 ARS

2023-09-19 * "Calculate party share"
Assets:Receivable 12000 ARS
Expenses:Party -12000 ARS

2023-09-21 * "Friend 1" "Receive payment for party expenses"
Assets:Bank 6000 ARS
Assets:Receivable -6000 ARS

2023-09-25 * "Friend 2" "Receive payment for party expenses"
Assets:Bank 6000 ARS
Assets:Receivable -6000 ARS
