-\f0\fs28 \cf0 There are situations when the accounts you're tracking are different\
-between your clients and the financial institutions where money is\
-kept.  An example of this is working as the treasurer for a religious\
-institution.  From the secular point of view, you might be working\
-with three different accounts:\
-\
-@itemize\
-@item Checking\
-@item Savings\
-@item Credit Card\
-@end itemize\
-\
-From a religious point of view, the community expects to divide its\
-resources into multiple ``funds'', from which it makes purchases or\
-reserves resources for later:\
-\
-@itemize\
-@item School fund\
-@item Building fund\
-@item Community fund\
-@end itemize\
-\
-The problem with this kind of setup is that when you spend money, it\
-comes from two or more places at once: the account and the fund.  And\
-yet, the correlation of amounts between funds and accounts is rarely\
-one-to-one.  What if the school fund has @samp\{$500.00\}, but\
-@samp\{$400.00\} of that comes from Checking, and @samp\{$100.00\} from\
-Savings?\
-\
-Traditional finance packages require that the money reside in only one\
-place.  But there are really two ``views'' of the data: from the\
-account point of view and from the fund point of view -- yet both sets\
-should reflect the same overall expenses and cash flow.  It's simply\
-where the money resides that differs.\
-\
-This situation can be handled one of two ways.  The first is using\
-virtual postings to represent the fact that money is moving to and\
-from two kind of accounts at the same time:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/03/20 Contributions\
-    Assets:Checking                    $500.00\
-    Income:Donations\
-\
-2004/03/25 Distribution of donations\
-    [Funds:School]                     $300.00\
-    [Funds:Building]                   $200.00\
-    [Assets:Checking]                 $-500.00\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-The use of square brackets in the second transaction ensures that the\
-virtual postings balance to zero.  Now money can be spent directly\
-from a fund at the same time as money is drawn from a physical\
-account:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/03/25 Payment for books (paid from Checking)\
-    Expenses:Books                    $100.00\
-    Assets:Checking                  $-100.00\
-    (Funds:School)                   $-100.00\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-When reports are generated, by default they'll appear in terms of the\
-funds.  In this case, you will likely want to mask out your\
-@samp\{Assets\} account, because otherwise the balance won't make much\
-sense:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger bal -^Assets\
-@end example\
-\
-If the @option\{--real\} option is used, the report will be in terms of\
-the real accounts:\
-\
-@example\
-ledger --real bal\
-@end example\
-\
-If more asset accounts are needed as the source of a posting, just\
-list them as you would normally, for example:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/03/25 Payment for books (paid from Checking)\
-    Expenses:Books                    $100.00\
-    Assets:Checking                   $-50.00\
-    Liabilities:Credit Card           $-50.00\
-    (Funds:School)                   $-100.00\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-The second way of tracking funds is to use transaction codes.  In this\
-respect the codes become like virtual accounts that embrace the entire\
-set of postings.  Basically, we are associating a transaction with a\
-fund by setting its code.  Here are two transactions that desposit money\
-into, and spend money from, the @samp\{Funds:School\} fund:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-2004/03/25 (Funds:School) Donations\
-    Assets:Checking                   $100.00\
-    Income:Donations\
-\
-2004/04/25 (Funds:School) Payment for books\
-    Expenses:Books                     $50.00\
-    Assets:Checking\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-Note how the accounts now relate only to the real accounts, and any\
-balance or registers reports will reflect this.  That the transactions\
-relate to a particular fund is kept only in the code.\
-\
-How does this become a fund report?  By using the\
-@option\{--code-as-payee\} 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\
-@option\{--by-payee\} option, you will now see account subtotals for any\
-postings related to a specific fund.  So, to see the current\
-monetary balances of all funds, the command would be:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-ledger --code-as-payee -P reg ^Assets\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-Or to see a particular funds expenses, the @samp\{School\} fund in this\
-case:\
-\
-@smallexample\
-ledger --code-as-payee -P reg ^Expenses -- School\
-@end smallexample\
-\
-Both approaches yield different kinds of flexibility, depending on how\
-you prefer to think of your funds: as virtual accounts, or as tags\
-associated with particular transactions.  Your own tastes will decide which\
-is best for your situation.}
