No position matches - how to fix it?

[Máté Farkas]

Hi,

I tried to import to beancount my 11k transactions of 15 years.

It works pretty well, except with the account with different currency. (I was able to eliminate the No Position Matches errors using "NONE" booking method, but fava has a bug, so I cannot hide the account which was closed years ago.)

Here is a minimalistic example, how can I make it working (without setting booking method to "NONE"):

option "title" "Currency account test"

option "operating_currency" "HUF"

2020-01-01 open Income:Test

2020-01-01 open Expenses:Test

2020-01-01 open Assets:Test EUR "AVERAGE"

2020-01-02 price EUR 100. HUF

2020-01-02 *

  Assets:Test       1. EUR {{100. HUF}}

  Income:Test    -100. HUF

2020-01-03 price EUR 200. HUF

2020-01-03 *

  Assets:Test       1. EUR {{200. HUF}}

  Income:Test    -200. HUF

2020-01-04 price EUR 150. HUF

2020-01-04 *

  Assets:Test      -2. EUR {{300. HUF}}

  Expenses:Test   300. HUF

Versions:

• fava, version 1.15
• Beancount 2.3.0
  

Thank you in advance,

Máté.

In brief: ' 1. EUR {{100. HUF}} ' is incorrect syntax for what you're trying to do. Read the documentation (it's awesome) and it should be obvious.
