Keyword balance

Purpose

During report generation, TaskJuggler can consider some accounts to be revenue accounts, while other can be considered cost accounts. By using the balance attribute, two top-level accounts can be designated for a profit-loss-analysis. This analysis includes all sub accounts of these two top-level accounts.

To clear a previously set balance, just use a -.

Syntax balance (<cost account> <ID> | -)
Arguments cost account
The top-level account that is used for all cost related charges.
