Hello,
I would like to create a Scheduled transaction that can add annual fixed
interests on an accounts.
For exemple, my accounts earns me 5% each year. The scheduled
transaction should calculate the incoming interest each year for each
transaction committed in the account during the year.
How can I do?
Can I use the Scheduled Transactions with Variables?

Regards
