Equivelent of not command in Beancount / Fava

[Toby]

Hi
 Is there an equivalent command of 'not' in Beancount. hledger has not: function to filter accounts.
Ledger also has something similar. Does Fava (or Beancount) have something similar?
 
Also I am trying to use the commodity function but I am struggling to find a way to increase a price of a commodity. Is Beancount suitable for this ? 
 
Following is an example:-
 
2021-01-01 * "Purchase Apple 10 Apples for 1.50 USD "  
   Assets:Inventory:Apple   10 Apple @ 1.50 USD                        ;
   Assets:Cash
 
2021-01-01 * "Cash Transaction for the Apple"
  Expenses:Cash                  15.00
  Assets:Cash
 
 
Suppose I wanted to increase the price of the Apple. How would I go about doing so?
For example if I paid 5.00 USD for Fuel and wanted to factor that in to the inventory price.
 

Is it possible to do this on Beancount?

Thanks

Hi,

to change the price you can do

2021-08-25 price Apple 1.75 USD

See https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_language_syntax.html#prices

There are also a lot price fetchers, see https://github.com/beancount/beanprice (or other custom fetchers)

The last thing to be aware, that beancount has both prices and costs. Prices can change, but cost stays the same once you purchased a commodity, this will allow you to calculate capital gains.

See https://beancount.github.io/docs/beancount_language_syntax.html#costs-and-prices

Regards,

Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of that! It seems like a good way to price commodities.

Also thanks for the heads-up between price and cost. Good to know.

Do you happen to know any similar command as 'not' for Fava/Beancount to filter/limit accounts?
