[Kmymoney] Automated transactions

[Louis-Philippe Allard]

Hi maillist!

   Is it possible to use variables or equations in transactions such as for
the following scenario:

   Lets say I want a recurring bill transaction (monthly) to be set as a
certain percentage of the balance of an account.  The perfect example would
be for the interests on a line of credit.  The balance of the LOC changes
very often.  Because of that, loan repayment transactions are simply not
applicable because they use amortization to calculate the payment so the
loan decreases linearly.  The possibility to use variables or equations in
scheduled transactions would be nice to track and enter the interest
charges I incur on the balance of the LOC. 

   So when the scheduled transaction is due (lets assume last day of each
month), KMM would calculate the amount due by charging a percentage of the
LOC's balance. 

   Its more a feature request than anything else.  It would be nice to be
able to enter variables or equations instead of a simple number.  For
example, 0.02*Account_1 which would be 2% of Account's 1 balance.  Accounts
and other categories would need to have their internal variables.

   Anybody else agrees it would simplify things?

   Thanks!
