Not in the description field, no.  Only the credit/debit formulae can contain
variables.

Perhaps that text should be worded better.  The real problem is with variables
which don't have known values, and thus require user input ... the code
cannot create the transaction "automatically" in that case.  For a variable
like the one you're suggesting [which always has a known value], this would
not be an issue.
