Individual postings may each have their own payee
If a posting has the metadata field "Payee" set to a string, that will
be used as the payee name for that posting. This affects the register
report, the payees report, and the --by-payee option.
This is useful because sometimes I send, say, 4 checks at a time to my
bank. So on my bank statement, this is all just one amount:
2010-06-17 Sample
Assets:Bank $400.00
Income:Check1 $-100.00
Income:Check2 $-100.00
Income:Check3 $-100.00
Income:Check4 $-100.00
Though it's important that the Assets:Bank posting be a single posting
of $400 value, I'd like for income reports to show whom each check came
from. Now I can say:
2010-06-17 Sample
Assets:Bank $400.00
Income:Check1 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person One
Income:Check2 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Two
Income:Check3 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Three
Income:Check4 $-100.00 ; Payee: Person Four
When I report this, it appears as:
10-Jun-17 Sample Assets:Bank $400.00 $400.00
Person One Income:Check1 $-100.00 $300.00
Person Two Income:Check2 $-100.00 $200.00
Person Three Income:Check3 $-100.00 $100.00
Person Four Income:Check4 $-100.00 0
This shows that they are all in the same transaction (which is why the
date is not repeated), but they have different payees.
