-, Beangrow is one of the reasons i am asking :)
I saw in beangrow docs example you are using 'general' (not separate per
stock) expense account:
"Assets:US:BTrade:Cash
Assets:US:BTrade:VTI
*Expenses:Financial:Commissions*
Income:US:BTrade:VTI:Dividend"
But as i understand it worked cause this expense account was in
transactions containing asset accounts (and thus beangrow was able to find
it)
In the case of ADR management fee transaction is
DATE Description
Cash Account
Expense Account
(no asset account here)
Then to make it work with beangrow i should do
investment {
asset_account: "Assets:Investing:CSchwab:TCEHY"
cash_accounts: " Assets:Investing:CSchwab:CASH"
*expense_accounts: "Expenses:Investing:CSchwab:TCEHY:Fees"*
}
Is this right? (In docs i didn't see *expense_accounts *parameter, only
asset_account, cash_accounts, dividend_accounts and matching_accounts
parameters.)
