This is a very simple plugin for Beancount that filters out transactions with a future date, provided they are tagged with the #future tag.

To use:

• Install using your favorite Python method — probably pip or python setup.py install, although you may want to install to your user directory (pip --user).
• Include the stanza plugin "beancount_extensions.future_transactions" in your Beancount file.

That's it.

From this point on, any transaction with a future tagged #future will not appear in your reports and queries.

If you want to suppress all future-dated entries, add the option suppress_all_future_entries to your plugin stanza:

; beancount.bean

plugin "beancount_extensions.future_transactions" "suppress_all_future_entries"

if you want to suppress entries taggedwith a different tag, say, #excludenow, then you can use the following option:

; beancount.bean

plugin "beancount_extensions.future_transactions" "tag_to_suppress=excludenow"
