When I post expenses for transaction costs, I don't want their value to
ever get recalculated. Usually, I can do this with a fixated cost like
this:
2019-07-20 Transfer some Zcash
Assets:Cash:Exchange Balances:ZEC
10.00000000 ZEC
Expenses:Banking and Transaction Costs
0.0001 ZEC {=77.41 USD}
Assets:Cash:Cryptocurrency;ZEC Wallet -
10.00010000 ZEC
A related problem arises when accounting for transaction costs associated
with cryptocurrency-vs-cryptocurrency trades:
2019-07-29 Trade ZEC for BTC
Assets:Cash:Exchange Balances:BTC
0.07281083 BTC @ 136.98629723 ZEC
Expenses:Banking and Transaction Costs
0.02591400 ZEC {=77.62 USD}
Assets:Cash:Exchange Balances:ZEC -
10.00000000 ZEC
Here, I want to fix the lot price of the posting to the expense account in
a third currency. Doing this causes the transaction to not balance:
Unbalanced remainder is:
-0.02591400 ZEC
0.02591400 ZEC {=USD77.62}
Amount to balance against:
9.9740859999430009 ZEC
0.02591400 ZEC {=USD77.62}
Error: Transaction does not balance
It seems to be treating the unspecified ZEC as a different commodity from
the cost-fixated ZEC?
