Split yearly bill to monthly: scheduled transactions? chronjob?

[nug get]

Dear all,

does beancount have a scheduled transaction creator or has anyone implemented something like it? For example a chronjob that inserts some predefined transaction every first day of the month? 

I'd like to smooth out yearly bills over the 12 months, like in the following way:

2020-01-01 * "Insuerer" "Health insurance" 

 Expenses:Medical:HealthInsurance  300.00 CHF ; 3600 per year 

 Liabilities:HealthInsurance 

2020-02-01 * "Insuerer" "Health insurance" 

 Expenses:Medical:HealthInsurance  300.00 CHF ; 3600 per year 

 Liabilities:HealthInsurance 

...

; when Bill is due

2020-12-01 * "Insuerer" "Health insurance bill" 

 Assets:Checkings    -3600.00 CHF  

 Liabilities:HealthInsurance 

and for this generate the according transaction at a specific point in time.

Any ideas/ working examples?

This plugin lets you create a single transaction spread across multiple dates:

See the car insurance example here.

Hi,

I created an importer for this in my tools https://github.com/tarioch/beancounttools

Works also together with fava. Basically whenever you run it it will add the missing transactions.

Regards,

Patrick
