Usage

If you have set a $LEDGER_FILE environment variable then you can simply run the program as follows.

hledger check-postings

This add-on command will check whether you have any postings which credit expense accounts or debit revenue accounts. Expense accounts should only be debited and revenue accounts should only be credited. Hence, if you credit an expense account or debit a revenue account then check-postings flags the transaction and fails.
