accounts.toml

This is configuration file defines valid and known transaction accounts.

With Chart of Accounts and strict mode on, tackler will spot and reject misspelled account names and prevents transactions to be "lost", e.g. end up into unknown accounts which are not part of reports.

This file can be generated from existing journal data with accounts export.

Use tackler new to create a functional template journal:

tackler new journal
tackler --config journal/conf/tackler.toml

See tackler.toml, accounts.toml, commodities.toml and tags.toml for full configuration options.

### Top-account name (ID) must start with character,
### and after that there could be
### '_', '-', '·', numbers and characters.
###
### The Sub-account name (SUBID) must be separated with ':',
### can start with numbers and can be all numeric.
###
### Characters can be a wide range of
### international UTF-8 encoded characters.
