Hi,
When I use $account for automated transactions it always seem to point to
the *2nd* account
2015/11/10 Phonecompany
Expenses:phone costs $ 30
* Liabilities:Creditors:Phonecompany*
Is there a way to reference the *first* account?
I'm using an automated transaction to deduct VAT from gross amounts that I
entered, but the VAT has to be deducted from the Expenses account, and not
from the Liabilities account. Of course I could switch the accounts and
then everything would be fine, but the problem is I have hundreds of
entries. Below is the automated transaction code to calculate the VAT. (It
doesn't work to explicitly reference the first account because it changes
with every entry.)
*_myvat=1.21*
*= expr 'tag("VAT") == "normal"'*
* Assets:VAT reclaim (amount - (amount/_myvat))*
* $account ((amount/_myvat))*
* $account (-amount)*
Of course I could just move the calculate the VAT based on amount and then
deduct it from *Expenses* and add it to *Assets:Vat reclaim *but then I
wouldn't be able to report the expenses without VAT for a specific account.
Best regards,
Dimitri
