Hi Eric,

thanks for explaining your structure.

Reconcilation (using ledger-mode) is an important part of my
weekly/monthly workflow and I think you need an actual ledger file to do
it. I imagine that one can manually check the balances with the help of
a few reports, but I'm pretty satisfied with my current setup.

It's interesting that you found capture templates clumsy. I don't use
them right now, but was thinking about using them to record recurring
information. Right now, I do this manually each month while reconciling
my bank account.

Thanks again,
Viktor
