Also simplify tree of accounts to ease view of "budget buckets". For people familiar with [`ledger` budgeting](http://www.ledger-cli.org/3.0/doc/ledger3.html#Budgeting) may consider this tool as an alias to `ledger --budget`. With this tool you may either use so called periodic transactions that being issued with each new period or use a family of approaches with automated transactions. You may want to look at [budgeting section of plaintextaccounting](http://plaintextaccounting.org/#budgeting). Periodic transaction that being interpreted by this tool may look like: ```ledger ~ monthly from 2017/3 income:salary $-4,000.00 expenses:taxes $1,000 expenses:housing:rent $1,200 expenses:grocery $400 expenses:leisure $200 expenses:health $200 expenses $100 assets:savings ``` Header of such entries starts with `'~'` (tilde symbol) following by an interval with an effect period when transactions should be injected. Effect of declaring such periodic transaction is: - Transactions will be injected at the beginning of each period. I.e. for monthly it will always refer to 1st day of month. - Injected transaction will have inverted amounts to offset existing associated expenses. I.e. for this example negative balance indicates how much you have within your budget and positive amounts indicates how far you off from your budget. - Set of accounts across of all periodic transactions will form kinda buckets where rest of the accounts will be sorted into. Each account not mentioned in any of periodic transaction will be dropped without changing of balance for parent account. I.e. for this example postings for `expenses:leisure:movie` will contribute to the balance of `expenses:leisure` only in reports. Note that beside a periodic transaction all automated transactions will be handled in a similar way how they are handled in `rewrite` command. #### Bucketing It is very common to have more expense accounts than budget "envelopes"/"buckets". For this reason all periodic transactions are treated as a source of information about your budget "buckets". I.e. example from previous section will build a sub-tree of accounts that look like ``` assets:savings expenses taxes housing:rent grocery leisure health income:salary ``` All accounts used in your transactions journal files will be classified according to that tree to contribute to an appropriate bucket of budget. Everything else will be collected under virtual account `` to give you an idea of what parts of your accounts tree is not budgeted. For example `liabilities` will contributed to that entry. #### Reports You can use `budget` command to produce next reports: - `balance` - the most important one to track how you follow your budget. If you use month-based budgeting you may want to use `--monthly` and `--row-total` option to see how you are doing through the months. You also may find it useful to add `--tree` option to see aggregated totals per intermediate node of accounts tree. - `register` - might be useful if you want to see long history (ex. `--weekly`) that is too wide to fit into your terminal. - `print` - this is mostly to check what actually happens. But you may use it if you prefer to generate budget transactions and store it in a separate journal for some less popular budgeting scheme. #### Extra options for reports You may tweak behavior of this command with additional options `--no-offset` and `--no-bucketing`. - Don't use these options if your budgeting schema includes both periodic transactions, and "bucketing". Unless you want to figure out how your budgeting might look like. You may find helpful values of average column from report ```shell $ hledger budget -- bal --period 'monthly to last month' --no-offset --average ``` - Use `--no-offset` and `--no-bucketing` if your schema fully relies on automated transactions and hand-crafted budgeting transactions. In this mode only automated transactions will be processed. I.e. when you journal looks something like ```ledger = ^expenses:food budget:gifts *-1 assets:budget *1 2017/1/1 Budget for Jan assets:bank $-1000 budget:gifts $200 budget:misc ``` - Use `--no-bucketing` only if you want to produce a valid journal. For example when you want to pass it as an input for other `hledger` command. Most people will find this useless. #### Recommendations - Automated transaction should follow same rules that usual transactions follow (i.e. keep balance for real and balanced virtual postings). - Don't change the balance of real asset and liability accounts for which you usually put assertions. Keep in mind that `hledger` do not apply modification transactions. - In periodic transactions to offset your budget use either top-level account like `Assets` or introduce a "virtual" one like `Assets:Bank:Budget` that will be a child to the one you want to offset. -} import Control.Arrow (first) import Data.Maybe import Data.List import System.Console.CmdArgs import Hledger.Cli import Hledger.Cli.Main (mainmode) import Hledger.Data.AutoTransaction budgetFlags :: [Flag RawOpts] budgetFlags = [ flagNone ["no-buckets"] (setboolopt "no-buckets") "show all accounts besides mentioned in periodic transactions" , flagNone ["no-offset"] (setboolopt "no-offset") "do not add up periodic transactions" ] actions :: [(Mode RawOpts, CliOpts -> IO ())] actions = first injectBudgetFlags <$> [ (manmode, man) , (infomode, info') , (balancemode, flip withJournalDo' balance) , (balancesheetmode, flip withJournalDo' balancesheet) , (cashflowmode, flip withJournalDo' cashflow) , (incomestatementmode, flip withJournalDo' incomestatement) , (registermode, flip withJournalDo' register) , (printmode, flip withJournalDo' print') ] injectBudgetFlags :: Mode RawOpts -> Mode RawOpts injectBudgetFlags = injectFlags "\nBudgeting" budgetFlags -- maybe lenses will help... injectFlags :: String -> [Flag RawOpts] -> Mode RawOpts -> Mode RawOpts injectFlags section flags mode0 = mode' where mode' = mode0 { modeGroupFlags = groupFlags' } groupFlags0 = modeGroupFlags mode0 groupFlags' = groupFlags0 { groupNamed = namedFlags' } namedFlags0 = groupNamed groupFlags0 namedFlags' = case ((section ==) . fst) `partition` namedFlags0 of ([g], gs) -> (fst g, snd g ++ flags) : gs _ -> (section, flags) : namedFlags0 cmdmode :: Mode RawOpts cmdmode = (mainmode []) { modeNames = ["hledger-budget"] , modeGroupModes = Group { groupUnnamed = map fst actions , groupNamed = [] , groupHidden = [] } } journalBalanceTransactions' :: CliOpts -> Journal -> IO Journal journalBalanceTransactions' opts j = do let assrt = not $ ignore_assertions_ opts either error' return $ journalBalanceTransactions assrt j withJournalDo' :: CliOpts -> (CliOpts -> Journal -> IO ()) -> IO () withJournalDo' opts = withJournalDo opts . wrapper where wrapper f opts' j = do -- use original transactions as input for journalBalanceTransactions to re-infer balances/prices let modifier = originalTransaction . foldr (flip (.) . runModifierTransaction') id mtxns runModifierTransaction' = fmap txnTieKnot . runModifierTransaction Any mtxns = jmodifiertxns j dates = jdatespan j ts' = map modifier $ jtxns j ts'' | boolopt "no-offset" $ rawopts_ opts' = ts' | otherwise= [makeBudget t | pt <- jperiodictxns j, t <- runPeriodicTransaction pt dates] ++ ts' makeBudget t = txnTieKnot $ t { tdescription = "Budget transaction" , tpostings = map makeBudgetPosting $ tpostings t } makeBudgetPosting p = p { pamount = negate $ pamount p } j' <- journalBalanceTransactions' opts' j{ jtxns = ts'' } -- re-map account names into buckets from periodic transaction let buckets = budgetBuckets j remapAccount "" = "" remapAccount an | an `elem` buckets = an | otherwise = remapAccount (parentAccountName an) remapPosting p = p { paccount = remapAccount $ paccount p, porigin = Just . fromMaybe p $ porigin p } remapTxn = mapPostings (map remapPosting) let j'' | boolopt "no-buckets" $ rawopts_ opts' = j' | null buckets = j' | otherwise = j' { jtxns = remapTxn <$> jtxns j' } -- finally feed to real command f opts' j'' budgetBuckets :: Journal -> [AccountName] budgetBuckets = nub . map paccount . concatMap ptpostings . jperiodictxns mapPostings :: ([Posting] -> [Posting]) -> (Transaction -> Transaction) mapPostings f t = txnTieKnot $ t { tpostings = f $ tpostings t } main :: IO () main = do rawopts <- fmap decodeRawOpts . processArgs $ cmdmode opts <- rawOptsToCliOpts rawopts case find (\e -> command_ opts `elem` modeNames (fst e)) actions of Just (amode, _) | "h" `elem` map fst (rawopts_ opts) -> print amode Just (_, action) -> action opts Nothing -> print cmdmode
