The keystrokes are shown in the menu to help you +learn the faster keyboard methods. + +@node Quick Demo, , Menus, Introduction to Ledger Mode +@section Quick Demo + +Load the demo file @file{demo.ledger} from the Ledger source +@file{test/input} directory. The ledger will be loaded and font +highlighted. At this point you could manually edit transactions and run +Ledger from a convenient command line. + +@menu +* Quick Add:: +* Reconciliation:: +* Reports:: +* Folding:: +@end menu + +@node Quick Add, Reconciliation, Quick Demo, Quick Demo +@subsection Quick Add + +As simple as the ledger transaction format is, it can still be daunting +to add many transactions manually. Ledger provides two way to add +transactions with minimal typing. Both are based on the idea that most +tranactions are repretitions of earlier transactions. + +In the @file{demo.ledger} buffer enter a date using the correct +format. The tpye the first few characters of another payee in the +@file{demo.ledger} buffer. Type @code{C-c TAB}. Ledger-mode will +search for a Payee that has the same beginning and copy the rest of the +transaction to you new entry. + +Additionally you can ust the ledger xact command, by typing @code{C-c +C-a} then typing a close match to the payee. Ledger mode will call +@code{ledger xact} with the data you enter and place the transaction in +the proper chronological place in the ledger. + +@node Reconciliation, Reports, Quick Add, Quick Demo +@subsection Reconciliation + +The biggest task of maintaining a ledger is ensuring the it matches the +outside world. This process is called reconciliation (@xref{Basics of +Reconciliation}) and can be quite onerous. Ledger mode attempts to make +it as painless as possible. + +In the @file{demo.ledger} buffer type @code{C-c C-r}. Emacs will prompt +for an account to reconcile in the mini-buffer. Enter @code{Checking}. +Emacs will then prompt for a target value. The target value is the +amount you want the cleared transactions in the buffer to total. +Normally this would be the ending value from your bank statement, or the +latest value in your on-line transaction summary. Enter @code{1710}. +Note that Ledger-mode assumes your are using $ (USD) as your default +commodity, this can be easily changed in the customization +variables. @xref{Ledger-mode Customization} + +You now see a list of uncleared transactions in a buffer below the +@file{demo.ledger} buffer. Touching the space bar will mark a +transaction as pending and display the current cleared (and pending) +balance, along with the difference remaining to meet your target. Clear +the first three transactions, and you will see the difference to target +reach $0. End the reconcilitation by typing @code{C-c C-c}. This saves +the demo.ledger buffer and marks the transactions and finally cleared. +Type @code{q} to close out the reconciliation buffer. + +@node Reports, Folding, Reconciliation, Quick Demo +@subsection Reports + +The real power of Ledger is in it reporting capabilities. Reports can +be run and displayed in a spearate Emacs buffer. In the +@file{demo.ledger} buffer, type @code{C-c C-o C-r}. In the mini-buffer +Emacs will prompt for a report name. There are a few built-in reports, +and you can add any report you need @xref{Adding New Reports}. + +In the mini-buffer type @code{account}. When prompted for an account +type @code{checking}. In another buffer you will see a Ledger register +report. You can move around the buffer, with the point on a transaction, +type @code{C-c C-c}. Ledger mode will take you directly to that +transaction in the @file{demo.ledger} buffer. + +Another built-in report is the balance report. In the +@file{demo.ledger} buffer, type @code{C-c C-o C-r}. When prompted for a +report to run, type @code{bal}, and a balance report of all accounts +will be shown. + +@node Folding, , Reports, Quick Demo +@subsection Folding + +A ledger file can get very large. It can be helpful to collapse the buffer +to display only the transactions you are interested in. Ledger-mode +copies the @code{occur} mode functionality. Typing @code{C-c C-f} and +entering any regex in the mini-buffer will show only transactions that +match the regex. The regex can be on any field, or amount. + +@node The Ledger Buffer, The Reconcile Buffer, Introduction to Ledger Mode, Top +@chapter The Ledger Buffer +@menu +* Adding Transactions:: +* Editing Amounts:: +* Marking Transactions:: +* Deleting Transactions:: +* Sorting Transactions:: +* Hiding Transactions:: +@end menu + +@node Adding Transactions, Editing Amounts, The Ledger Buffer, The Ledger Buffer +@section Adding Transactions + +Beyond the two ways of quickly adding transactions (@pxref{Quick Add}) +Ledger-mode assists you by providing robust @code{TAB} completion for +payees and accounts. Ledger-mode will scan the existing buffer for +payees and accounts. Included files are not currently included in the +completion scan. Repeatedly hitting @code{TAB} will cycle through the +possible completions. + +@node Editing Amounts, Marking Transactions, Adding Transactions, The Ledger Buffer +@section Editing Amounts +GNU Calc is a very powerful Reverse Polish Notation calculator built +into all recent version of Emacs. Ledger-mode makes it easy to +calculate values for amount by integrating GNU Calc. With the point +anywhere in the same line as a posting, typing @code{C-c C-b} will +bring up the Calc buffer, and push the current amount for the posting +onto the top of the Calc stack. Perform any calculations you ened to +arrive at the final vlaue, then type @code{y} to ynk the value at the +top of stack back into the ledger buffer. Note: GNU Calc does not +directly support commas as decimal separators. Ledger mode will +translate values from decimal-comma format to decimal-period format for +use in Calc, but it cannot intercept the value being yanked form the +Calc stack, so decimal-comma users will have to manually replace the +period with a comma. + + +@node Marking Transactions, Deleting Transactions, Editing Amounts, The Ledger Buffer +@section Marking Transactions +Ledger considers transaction or posting to be in one of three states: +uncleared, cleared, and pending. For calculation Ledger ignores these +states unless specifically instructed to use them. Ledger-mode assigns +some additional meaning to the states: +@itemize +@item Uncleared. +No state. This is equivalent to sticking a check in the mail. It has +been obligated, but not been cashed by the recipient. It could also +apply to credit/debit card transactions that have not been cleared into +your account balance. You bank may call these transactions 'pending', +but Ledger-mode usues a slightly different meaning. +@item Pending. +Ledger-mode's reconciliation function see pending transactions as an +intermediate step in reconciling an account. When doing a +reconciliation (@pxref{Reconciliation}), marking a transaction as +pending means that you have seen the transaction finally recorded by the +recipient, but you have not completely reconciled the account. +@item Cleared. +The transaction has been completely recognized by all parties to the transaction. +@end itemize + +Clearing complete transactions is done by typing @code{C-c C-e} with +point in a transaction. This places an asterisk (@code{*}) after the +date. Clearing individual postings is done by typing @code{C-c C-c} +while in a posting. This places an asterisk prior to the posting. + +@node Deleting Transactions, Sorting Transactions, Marking Transactions, The Ledger Buffer +@section Deleting Transactions +Along with normal buffer editing methods to delete text, Ledger mode +provides an easy way to delete the transaction under point: @code{C-c +C-d}. The advantage to using this method is that the complete +transaction operation is in the undo buffer. + +@node Sorting Transactions, Hiding Transactions, Deleting Transactions, The Ledger Buffer +@section Sorting Transactions + +As you operating on the Ledger files, they may become disorganized. For +the most part, Ledger doesn't care, but our human brains prefer a bit of +order. Sorting the transactions in a buffer into chronological order +can help bring order to chaos. Ledger sort (@code C-c C-s) will sort +all of the transactions in a region by date. Ledger-mode isn't +particularly smart about handling dates and it simply sorts the +transactions using the string at the beginning of the transaction. So, +you should use the preferred ISO 8601 standard date format @code{YYYY/MM/DD} +which easily sorts. + +Note, there is a menu entry to sort the entire buffer. Special +transactions like automated transactsion, will be moved in the sorting +process and may not fucntion correctly afterwards. For this reason +there is no key sequence. + +@node Hiding Transactions, , Sorting Transactions, The Ledger Buffer +@section Hiding Transactions + +Ofen times you will want to run Ledger register reports just to look at +a specific set of transactions. If you don't need the running total +calculation hadnled by Ledger, Ledger-mode provides a rapid way of +narrowing what is displayed in the buffer in a way that is sipler than +the Ledger register command. + +Based on the Emacs Occur mode by Alexey Veretennikov, Ledger-occur hides +all transactions that do NOT meet a specific regular expression. The +regular expression can match on any part of the transaction. If you +want to find all transactions whose amount ends in .37, you can do that +( I don't know why, but hey, whatever ever flaots you aerostat). + +Using @code(C-c C-f) or the @code{Hide Xacts} menu entry, enter a +regualr expression in the minbuffer. Ledger-mode will hide all oter +transactions. For details of the regualr expression syntax, see the +Emacs Manual or the Emac Elisp Reference Manual. A few examples using +the @file{demo.ledger} are given here: + +@table @samp +@item Groceries +Show only transactions that have a posting to the `Groceries' account. +@item ^2011/01 +Show only transactions occuring in January of 2011. +@item ^2011/.*/25 +Show only transactions occuring on the 25th of the month in 2011 +@item .*ore +Show only transaction with payeees or accounts ending in `ore' +@end table + +To show all transactions simply invoke @code{Hide Xacts} or @code{C-c +C-f} again. + +@node The Reconcile Buffer, The Report Buffer, The Ledger Buffer, Top +@chapter The Reconcile Buffer +@menu +* Basics of Reconciliation:: +* Starting a Reconciliation:: +* Mark Transactions Pending:: +* Edit Transactions During Reconciliation:: +* Finialize Reconciliation:: +* Adding and Deleting Transactions during Reconciliation:: +* Changing Reconciliation Account:: +* Changing Reconciliation Target:: +@end menu + +@node Basics of Reconciliation, Starting a Reconciliation, The Reconcile Buffer, The Reconcile Buffer +@section Basics of Reconciliation + +Even in this relativley modern era, financial transactions do not happen +instantaneously, unless you are paying cash. When you swipe your debit +card the money may take several days to actually come out of your +account, or a check may take several days to ``clear''. That is the +root of the difference between ``obligating'' funds and ``expending'' +funds. Obligation says you have agreed to pay it, the expnediture +doesn't happen until the money actually leaves your account. Or in the +case of receiving payment, you have an account receivable until the +money has actually made it to you. + +After an account has been reconciled you have verified that all the +transactions in that account have been correctly recorded and all +parties agree. + +@node Starting a Reconciliation, Mark Transactions Pending, Basics of Reconciliation, The Reconcile Buffer +@section Starting a Reconciliation + +To start reconciling an account you must have a target, both the +transactions that you know about and the transactions the bank knows +about. You can get this from a monthly statement, or from checking your +online transaction history. It also helps immensely to know the final +cleared balance you are aiming for. + +Use menu @code{Reconcile Account} or @code{C-c C-r} and enter the +account you wish to reconcile in the mini-buffer. Ledger-mode is not +particular about what you enter for the account. You can leave it blank +and Reconcile Mode will show you ALL uncleared transactions. After you +enter the account enter the target amount. Ledger expects you to enter +an amount with a commodity. It assumes initially that you are using $ +(USD) as your default commodity. If you are working in a difference +currency you can change the default in variable +@code(ledger-reconcile-default-commodity) to whatever you need. If you +work in multiple commodities simply enter the commoditized amount (for +example @code{340 VSDX}, for 340 shares of VSDX). + +Ledger-mode reconcile cannot currently reconcile accounts the have +multiple commodities, such as brokerage accounts.
