Tracking cash balances / Double-entry bookkeeping

Initial version is released!

  • Go to Settings → Early access and enable Cash Tracking
  • Go to Settings → Cash tracking and enable it

A few things to note:

  • You can safely turn it on and off - all cash transactions are calculated on the fly, so you won’t break your data
  • Currently you can only configure it globally, but there will be a way to configure it per asset, account and currency
  • You can enable it on accounts with existing cash balance, meaning the cash will be tracked from the earliest Cash Transfer/Buy/Balance. It’s the safest and most sensible mode, but you need to add some Account Balance or Transfer transactions for the accounts and currencies you want to track
  • If you enable it everywhere, it will only work for currencies you already have in your project - you will need to add them manually. Once you enable tracking, new currencies will be added automatically
  • You can convert all cash to a single currency - it’s meant for accounts where brokers do that for you and don’t provide FX conversions
  • If you navigate to your cash account, you will see all transactions that affected it’s balance. This is by design, but before the full release they will be presented a bit differently to reduce confusion.

Let me know how it works for you :slight_smile:
