currentBalance(account [, startDate, endDate, function(rowObj, rowNr, table) ])

Sum the amounts of opening, debit, credit, total and balance for all transactions for this accounts.

The calculations are perfermed by traversing by creating a journal (see journal() function) with all the transactions , and selecting the transctions with the parameters specified.
The computation is usually very fast. But if you  have a file with many transactions especially the first query could take some time. 

var currentBal = Banana.document.currentBalance('1000','','');
var openingBalance = currentBal.opening;
var endBalance = currentBal.balance;
  • Return value
    Is an object that has
    • opening the amount at the begining of the period (all transactions before)

    • total the difference between debit-credit for the period
    • balance opening + debit-credit for the period
    • amount it the "normalized" amount based on the bclass of the account or group.
      If there are multiple accounts or groups, takes the first BClass of the first.
      • for BClass 1 or 2 it return the balance (value at a specific instant).
      • for BClass 3 or 4 it return the total (value for the duration).
      • For BClass 2 and 4 the amount is inverted.

    • bclass (double entry accounting only) is the bclass of the account or group used to express the amount.
      The bclass is the value entered in the columns bclass.
      It is taken in consideration the first account or group specified. If for examble you query two account that first that has bclass 2 and the second that has bclass 1. The bclass would be 2.
      The bclass is assigned by following this steps. :
      • The bclass of the specified account or group.
      • The blcass of the partent group, for the same section.
      • The blcass of the section.

    • Can be a group or a BClass.
      It include all the transactions where the account used belong to a specified Group o r BClass.
      It is also possible to use wildcards.
      The program first create a list of accounts and then use the account list.

// calculate the interest credit for the whole period
var interestDebit = Banana.document.currentInterest('1000','-4.75');

exchangeRate( currency, [date])

Return the exchange rate that convert the amount in currency in basic currency.

var journal = Banana.document.journal(Banana.document.ORIGINTYPE_CURRENT, Banana.document.ACCOUNTTYPE_NORMAL );

For each account used in the transaction table (AccountDebit, AccountCredit, CC1, CC2, CC3) the program generate a Journal row with the JAccount column set with the specific account. 
For a double entry account transaction that use AccountDebit, AccountCredit, AccountVat, CC1, CC2, CC3 the Journal will contain 6 rows. If the transaction has only AccountDebit and AccountCredit only 2 rows will be generated.

The column JAmount  contains the exact amount registered on the specific account.

  • JTransactionCurrencyConversionRate is the conversion rate to obtain amounts in transaction's currency. 
    Multiply the transcation's amount in basic currency with the JTransactionCurrencyConversionRate  and you will have the amount converted in transaction's currency.
    The conversion rate has 12 significant decimal so only by very large conversion should be have conversion differences.
