G'day all. A poll:

Should hledger 2 always infer market prices from @/@@ transacted prices, like Ledger ? (and drop the --infer-market-prices flag)

- Yes, having this always on would be harmless and more useful
- No, having it always on, or changing it, would be harmful
- Other, see my reply

Or vote in the matrix poll: https://matrix.to/#/!6BCfAOV-btRKuqChph9Z_ppkIj8KttMoIL_rB4eU0Os/$JveSoLuLOWS_Mg10JDUJKnu33RAclZML03JQ4Lp46qY?via=asgard.chat&via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de

Connaissez-vous des entreprises FR qui utilisent le principe de PTA (Plain text accounting) ?

Qui dit entreprise, dit comptabilité à double partie avec suivi des tiers.

Je vois des repos de ressources personnelles, mais ce sont majoritairement des importateurs bancaires.

Aucune trace d'entreprise qui utiliserait ce système (Pour toute ou partie d'une tenue comptable).

Avec ce que ça implique en obligation (FEC notamment)

Glad it has helped you! A few things that might help:
- other rust projects linked at plaintextaccounting.org
- https://hledger.org/SPEC-journal.html
- https://hledger.org/hledger.html#amounts (manual is a kind of spec)
- amountp and friends in Hledger.Read.Common

Particulièrement cocasse de voir comment les trois mastodons du #PlainTextAccounting – à savoir #ledger, #hledger, et #beancount – n'ont aucun souci à reposer sur de l'IA-gen. J'suis à deux doigts de faire un amalgame entre les gens qui prennent le temps d'analyser leurs ressources et le capitalisme puant.

And, hledger 2.0 preview 1 (AKA 1.99.1), which adds

automated lot tracking and capital gains calculation,
improvements to `print`'s beancount output,
and a new policy for AI-assisted development.

This is the first hledger release to explore AI-assisted development, so please do check out the evolving AI policy/FAQ: https://hledger.org/AI.html

You get automation without blindly trusting a model with your numbers. Write the import rules once, and everything stays deterministic and auditable after that.

If you want more control over their financial data without paying for yet another SaaS tool, this might be the workflow you've been looking for.

@Bebef ahso - ich verwende client-seitig kein Excel oder ähnliches.
Hab eine selbstgebaute Pipeline, welche mit Hilfe von "mlr" die exportierten CSVs normalisiert und dann basierend auf teils generierten, teils manuell definierten Regeln mit "hledger import..." meine Journals generiert.

Ich sehe also die CSVs im plain-text.
