beginner question about total assets

[Prasun Ratn]

Hello

I was trying out beancount today and I didn't see a way to report total assets. I was able to use 'holdings' which gives a per-account view. I also tried 'networth' but it shows an empty output.

I am using Beancount 2.3.6 (git:d77540c4; 2023-10-05) which I installed via pip.

This is my file and the commands I tried.

> type debug.beancount
2010-01-01 open Equity:OpeningBalances

2010-01-01 open Assets:Icici

2023/04/01 * "None"
    Equity:OpeningBalances    -1705.48 INR
    Assets:Icici

2023/06/29 * "Interest Q1"
    Income:Interest    -13.0 INR
    Assets:Icici

2023/08/02 * "Self Transfer"
    Assets:Cash    100.0 INR
    Assets:Icici

2023/08/02 * "Ice Cream"
    Expenses:Food    50.0 INR
    Assets:Icici


2010-01-01 open Income:Interest
2010-01-01 open Assets:Cash
2010-01-01 open Expenses:Food



> bean-report debug.beancount balances
Assets:Cash                100.0 INR
Assets:Icici              1568.5 INR
Equity:OpeningBalances   -1705.5 INR
Expenses:Food               50.0 INR
Income:Interest            -13.0 INR
Liabilities

hello, :)

i have three things added that i don't see you using:

- a prices file
- a commodities file
- the option "operating_currency" "USD"... (so in your case that
would be "INR" instead of "USD")

i'm not sure which ones make the difference, but i hope this helps. :)

I think the currency to USD might be missing.

Add this to debug.beancount and try again

option "operating_currency" "INR"
