The epost details of computing Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h are somewhat\ -complex, but if you have further interest, please consult the Web.\ -\ -Ledger makes this otherwise difficult law very easy. Just set up an\ -automated posting at the top of your ledger file:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -; This automated transaction will compute Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h based on this\ -; journal's postings. Any that match will affect the\ -; Liabilities:Huququ'llah account by 19% of the value of that\ -; posting.\ -\ -= /^(?:Income:|Expenses:(?:Business|Rent$|Furnishings|Taxes|Insurance))/\ - (Liabilities:Huququ'llah) 0.19\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -This automated posting works by looking at each posting in the\ -ledger file. If any match the given value expression, 19% of the\ -posting's value is applied to the @samp\{Liabilities:Huququ'llah\}\ -account. So, if $1000 is earned from @samp\{Income:Salary\}, $190 is\ -added to @samp\{Liabilities:Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h\}; if $1000 is spent on Rent,\ -$190 is subtracted. The ultimate balance of Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h reflects how\ -much is owed in order to fulfill one's obligation to Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h.\ -When ready to pay, just write a check to cover the amount shown in\ -@samp\{Liabilities:Huququ'llah\}. That transaction would look like:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -2003/01/01 (101) Baha'i Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h Trust\ - Liabilities:Huququ'llah $1,000.00\ - Assets:Checking\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -That's it. To see how much Huq\'faq is currently owed based on your\ -ledger transactions, use:\ -\ -@example\ -ledger balance Liabilities:Huquq\ -@end example\ -\ -This works fine, but omits one aspect of the law: that Huquq is only\ -due once the liability exceeds the value of 19 mithq\'e1ls of gold (which\ -is roughly 2.22 ounces). So what we want is for the liability to\ -appear in the balance report only when it exceeds the present day\ -value of 2.22 ounces of gold. This can be accomplished using the\ -command:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -ledger -Q -t "/Liab.*Huquq/?(a/P@\{2.22 AU@\}<=@\{-1.0@\}&a):a" -s bal liab\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -With this command, the current price for gold is downloaded, and the\ -Huq\'faqu'll\'e1h is reported only if its value exceeds that of 2.22 ounces\ -of gold. If you wish the liability to be reflected in the parent\ -subtotal either way, use this instead:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -ledger -Q -T "/Liab.*Huquq/?(O/P@\{2.22 AU@\}<=@\{-1.0@\}&O):O" -s bal liab\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -In some cases, you may wish to refer to the account of whichever\ -posting matched your automated transaction's value expression. To do\ -this, use the special account name @samp\{$account\}:\ -\ -@smallexample\ -= /^Some:Long:Account:Name/\ - [$account] -0.10\ - [Savings] 0.10\ -@end smallexample\ -\ -This example causes 10% of the matching account's total to be deferred\ -to the @samp\{Savings\} account---as a balanced virtual posting,\ -which may be excluded from reports by using @option\{--real\}.}
