@ -72,7 +72,7 @@ You can use `-I`/`--ignore-assertions` to disable this assertion checking.
## add and balance assignments
You can't add new postings which are dated earlier than a balance assignment, currently.
It's because balance assignments are performed once, before `add`;
by the time `add` runs, all amounts in the journal are explicit, and assignments have become assertions.
If you try to add a new posting which is dated earlier than a balance assignment in that account and commodity, it will be rejected.
It's because by the time `add` runs, all balance assignments have been processed and have become assertions.
So if you need to do this, add the `-I` flag to disable assertions temporarily.
