Feature request: Hide reimbursed bills

McTom234 opened this issue · comments

Hey! I have a feature request to hide reimbursed bills.
We use the plugins for one month now, before that we used Splitwise.

When we reimburse the bills of the past month, we would like them to be hidden. E.g., when adding bills on June 1st and June 3rd, and we then calculate and add the reimbursement, we'd like to have an option to hide the bills mentioned above, since they have been covered by the reimbursement.

Am I understanding it correctly that you are using a rolling project? As in that you have created a project that you don't dedicate for an event or time-period, but rather just use continuously?

Because a easy way to hide the bills when everyone is reimbursed is to archive the project.

Its very hard to make a feature to hide bills, as the reimbursement algorithm just looks at who paid how much and how much is paid in total and tries to even it out (or one can center on one person which means every reimbursement is either someone paying that person, or that person is paying somebody). There is no regard given to individual bills, so how should one know which bills to hide?

Edit: If you do the reimbursements every month, is it not easier to just archive afterwards and create a new project for the coming month? It has the benefit of being more flexible with who is joining in on activities, such that someone selecting "split evenly" does not have to manually deselect members that last joined a long time ago, etc.
