Scheduled Transactions with Variables

[Rainer Dorsch]

Guitoun,

I was also close to ask the question, but found then a few reference in 
http://www.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/usage.html#transactions

(search for variable).

I have not yet read it myself, but I could help. Let me know, if you think 
that explains things well enough.

Thanks.
Rainer
