Oh, I see what you mean now. Sorry, no, beancount does not have that feature. Ledger allows you to put a ; Payee: metadata on a posting. In beancount, there is only a payee for the whole transaction. > > Metadata (key:value) that are listed before the first posting are > > attached to the whole transactions.

Well, a "attaching a narration to a posting" is using meta-data, it's just that the "Payee" metadata has a special meaning in ledger and is used to override the payee from the transaction header. (That's why I was initially confused and said beancount has the same feature.) -- Martin Michlmayr https://www.cyrius.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
