Beancount will eventually support this using cost basis inference.
You would type this:
2016-02-20 * Transform
Wh:Raw -1 apple {1.00 EUR}
Wh:Raw -1 orange {2.00 EUR}
Wh:Packs 1 pack {}
In fact, if you have only a single lot of apples at that date, you'd even
be able to do this:
2016-02-20 * Transform
Wh:Raw -1 apple {}
Wh:Raw -1 orange {2.00 EUR}
Wh:Packs 1 pack {}
The implementation is incomplete , but I've got this type of interpolation
working already.
It still needs more work to reach the stable branch, however, not ready for
prime time yet, needs a few more months of work.
This is work is part of furius.ca/beancount/doc/proposal-booking
Monitor changes on the "booking" branch of Beancount if you're interested.
