## add and balance assignments
Since hledger 1.51, you can add a [balance assignment](#balance-assignments) by writing just `= BALANCE` when asked for an amount.
The missing amount will be calculated automatically.
`add` normally won't let you add a new posting which is dated earlier than an existing balance assignment.
(Because when `add` runs, existing balance assignments have already been calculated and converted to amounts and balance assertions.)
You can allow it by disabling balance assertion checking with `-I`.
