Hi, I read the manual again and now its starting to make more sense = expr true ; (needs an '=' to be automated transaction) and then expression has to be true Foo $50.00 ; accounts that need the automation to be made Bar $-50.00 ; 2nd double entry transaction.
Ok make sense now a bit. = monthly Income Income:Salary US$-100.00 Assets:Bank US$100.00 Is the expression above ok?
