Make it possible to add depots to budgeted accounts about budgetbudget HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey @netgitdom

As far as I understand, Depots don't work with Transactions (as the other accounts in MM do) but with Assets.
Assets don't share the same category pool as Transactions

So I have not come up with a concept on how to integrate Assets in the current Budgeting that's based on Categories and Transactions.

Do you know of a budgeting tool that does this? Or how would you expect this to work (for example if you'd manage your budget on paper).

I personally treat my depots as external/off-budget meaning from a budget point of view i spend some money each month that goes to the depot (Same to the money I spend on food etc...)

And when I'd decide to trade some assets back to euros, I'd then treat that money as income once the transaction lands on one of my other accounts and have it available for budgeting.

Let me know if this helps ✌️

Hi,

indeed it does. I didn't think about it that way. I thought, maybe it just had to be included in some kind of API call. I'll try it the way you proposed.
If it's not working for me, I'll come back with some specific idea or concept :-)
