Yes. You're asserting “After this transaction that moves $0.00, the
balance should be $4.55”.
I think instead you want::
2015/10/01 Light Refreshments
MyCompany:Expenses:LightRefreshments $4.55
MyCompany:Liabilities:AP:LightRefreshments
2015/12/31 MyCompany:Expenses closing balance
MyCompany:Expenses $4.55 = $0.00
Equity:Dummy
The second asserts “After this transaction which moves $4.55, the
balance should be $0.00”.
$ ledger -f ~/Documents/finance/foo.ledger balance
$-4.55 Equity:Dummy
$4.55 MyCompany
$9.10 Expenses
$4.55 LightRefreshments
$-4.55 Liabilities:AP:LightRefreshments
--------------------
0
But maybe instead you have a mistake in which transactions you specify
for the transactions?
