Description: Django Account Keeping
        ======================
        
        A reusable Django app for keeping track of transactions in your bank accounts.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        To get the latest stable release from PyPi
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            pip install django-account-keeping
        
        To get the latest commit from GitHub
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            pip install -e git+git://github.com/bitmazk/django-account-keeping.git#egg=account_keeping
        
        
        Add all relevant apps to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            INSTALLED_APPS = (
                ...,
                'account_keeping',
                'currency_history',
                'import_export',
            )
        
        Add the ``account_keeping`` URLs to your ``urls.py``
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            urlpatterns = patterns('',
                ...
                url(r'^accounting/', include('account_keeping.urls')),
            )
        
        Don't forget to migrate your database
        
        .. code-block:: bash
        
            ./manage.py migrate
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        Configure currency history app
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Follow the instructions at: https://github.com/bitmazk/django-currency-history
        
        Make sure you add all needed currencies first. Second, define the wanted rates.
        Then make sure to get the latest rate history and add it by yourself.
        
        Add Account objects
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Next you need to create your accounts. Note that the field `total_amount` is
        currently not used. It might eventually be used in the future for performance
        optimisations but at the moment it seems that computing the totals on the
        fly is fast enough.
        
        Import data from Money Manager Ex
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        If you were using Money Manage Ex, you can export your data into a .csv file
        and then import it into this app::
        
            ./manage.py importer_mmex -f filename.csv -c EUR -t 19 -a account-slug
        
        The parameter `-t` (VAT) is optional. If omitted, it is assumed that there is
        no VAT for the transactions in this account.
        
        IMPORTANT: Money Manager Ex has a transaction type `Transfer` but unfortunately
        in the `.csv` format the information of the source and destination accounts is
        lost. Here is a workaround: First you go through all your transactions in
        Money Manager Ex and those that have an incoming transfer (a deposit), you mark
        by adding some unique text to the description. Then you export the `.csv` and
        edit it in an editor. You search for your unique string and for those rows you
        change the transaction type from `Transfer` to `TransferDeposit`.
        
        Money Manager Ex does not have the notion of invoices, it only has
        transactions. When importing the data, this app will simply generate a dummy
        invoice for each transaction. Unfortunately, you have to go through all
        transactions manually and change the incoive date.
        
        Creating transactions with sub-transactions
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        
        Sometimes a customer will pay several invoices within one transaction. For this
        case you should do the following:
        
        1. Create the transaction that has appeared on your bank account as usual
        2. For each invoice that has been paid, create a transaction that has the
           first transaction as a parent and of course create an invoice that is tied
           to it's transaction.
