Edit Statement

By default, statements are stored as <statement_name>.json in data/statements/<ISO country code>/<bank>/

Usage

Different actions are available (cf. below). They can be performed by calling the file monimoney.py (e.g. python3 monimoney.py generate --rule=2019-Dec) or with the Makefile (e.g. make generate --rule=2019-Dec)

• create: shows the different categories and subcategories and generates the JSON for the database. The generated JSON needs to be manually copied and pasted.
• generate: with dates defined in the preferences.json file, this action generates rules for Makefile.
• statement: shows all transactions of a statement.
• analysis: calculates totals and shows an analysis of a statement.
