Right, but that's going to be the laborious brute force method, right? It
would look like:
2011-01-01 * "Mutual fund exchange: upgrade share class"
-33.234 ABC_COMMON {234.23 USD, 2017-10-01} @ 62.09 USD
4.123 ABC_PREMIUM {75.67 USD}
-12.093 ABC_COMMON {345.23 USD, 2016-11-02} @ 62.09 USD
3.123 ABC_PREMIUM {90.67 USD}
-75.234 ABC_COMMON {92.23 USD, 2011-2-02} @ 62.09 USD
8.123 ABC_PREMIUM {12.67 USD}
.....
There are going to be two postings for each lot. That's a lot to type.
Given there is a relationship between each pair, and an overall
relationship, I was wondering if there was any easier way I'm misisng.
