Hello,

what is the most idiomatic way to express in Beancount that a certain purchase has been done via a specific debit card?

I have a bank account with two debit cards: one for personal purchases and one for work-related purchases. They are both billed to the same bank account in a matter of seconds, so they are not really credit cards.

My current solution to track which card has been used is to create two transactions with opposite amounts: one from the card (Liabilities) to the payee (Expenses) and one from the card (Liabilities) to the account (Assets):

    2018-04-11 * "Train company" "Tickets to Place"
      Liabilities:MyBank:WorkCard-123         -10.00 EUR
      Expenses:Transports:Trains

    2018-04-11 *
      Liabilities:MyBank:WorkCard-123          10.00 EUR
      Assets:MyBank:MyAccount

Is there a better way to express this? Maybe combining these two transactions into one?

Regards,
