| [06:40:46] | <RUros[m]> | Hello, need an advice on what would be more appropriate way to store costs data: i am using ledger module for purchase and sale tracking, which is really great for costs tracking. However every cost is not related with purchasing or selling, meaning like... (full message at |

| [07:17:20] | <mstenta[m]> | Happy New Year RUros: I would suggest using the price quantity on the medical log, like you discovered |
| [07:17:39] | <mstenta[m]> | And then just consider all logs to be "expenses" except for Sales |
| [07:18:40] | <mstenta[m]> | That would be a simple convention |
| [07:22:15] | <RUros[m]> | Yes that was also my thinking, this would be simplest solution. |
| [07:23:53] | <mstenta[m]> | My dream years ago was to build a true double entry bookkeeping system in Drupal: https://drupal.org/project/ledger |
| [07:24:08] | <mstenta[m]> | Maybe that will still happen someday 😄 |
| [07:25:21] | <mstenta[m]> | In the meantime, integrating with a third-party option (eg: Quickbooks or GnuCash) could be explored |
| [09:20:59] | <symbioquine[m]> | <mstenta[m]> "That would be a simple conventio..." <- Another strategy is to use the inventory functionality for those price quantities to associate them with "buckets". This is what we do... |
| [09:25:58] | <symbioquine[m]> | In our case we have a number of "Money" assets (there's probably a better name for this - maybe "balance" or "account") and use the inventory quantity on those assets to mostly track money the farm needs to pay back for feed purchases and similar. Sometimes these get payed back in ferry tickets or portions of a bulk order so it's convenient to have a running balance that could go either way and have a full history tied back to the |
| [09:25:58] | <symbioquine[m]> | logged events credited/debited that balance. |
| [09:27:52] | <symbioquine[m]> | However a similar idea could be useful for accumulating specific expense data - e.g. "2025 Q4 - paid sales tax" |
