I started tracking my Roth IRA contributions. For example: 2015-01-01 Automatic Deposit Assets:RothIRA 0.531 VOO @ $188.40 Assets:Checking
But noticed this did not result in correct transactions against the checking account. The problem appears to be that the fractional shares reported in my statement are rounded to the thousandths place. One solution is to use amount expressions. For example: 2015-01-01 Automatic Deposit Assets:RothIRA (100 VOO / 188.40) @ $188.40 Assets:Checking But I am not actually dividing 100 shares of VOO by a unit-less 188.4. Instead, I am purchasing as many shares as I can at a unit price of $188.40 for a total cost of $100.00. Is there a shorthand or even more accurate way to record this?
