Transaction codes.

Open prataprc opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

A transaction can have a textual “code”. This has no meaning and is only displayed by the print command. Checking accounts often use codes like DEP, XFER, etc., as well as check numbers. This is to give you a place to put those codes:

2012-03-10 (#100) KFC
    Expenses:Food                $20.00
    Assets:Checking

Refering to ledger-cli:

By using the --payee=code option, you can generate a register report where the payee for each posting shows the code. Alone, this is not terribly interesting; but when combined with the --by-payee (-P) option, you will now see account subtotals for any postings related to a specific fund.
