Hello all, This project and community is excellent, thank you so much for it!
I'm entering some transactions for a small business where each invoice results in a "gross income tax" liability due to a regional business tax. In my specific case this is 0.4%. I know I can write the formula directly e.g.: 2018-06-13 * "My Client" "invoice" ^2018-06-13-invoice-1 #MyProject Assets:AccountsReceivable 1000.00 USD Income:Services:MyClient -1000.00 USD Expenses:Taxes:BusinessPrivilege (1000.00 * 0.004) USD Liabilities:Taxes:BusinessPrivilege -(1000.00 * 0.004) USD I was wondering if there is any ability to define variables and reference those variables in transactions. First: could I define the business privilege tax in a global event variable and reference that? Second: could I even define that net billable "1000.00" in a transaction level metadata field that can be referenced in multiple places? I also appreciate maybe the most explicit thing would be to simply do the calculation by hand as part of the entry, and so variable based stuff would be too complex and unpredictable, but wanted to ask just in case!
