Hi Helga -- it is already possible to configure the scenarios you have laid out. Virtual Data Rules represent the overall data structure of a rule, but then when a virtual account is configured using virtual account relationships you specify the individual accounts used in those rules.
Also, it is already possible to create formulas that have multiple variables from the same data type. Using your Diesel example I have configured a sample rule in your instance to illustrate how this would be done. The rule is called "EnviziESG-I-493 Total Diesel Used Example". This rules uses the Diesel Stationary [kL] data type for both variables in the formula and subtracts KL of Diesel from KL of Diesel. When you create the virtual account you simply nominate the Total Invoiced Diesel account to fill the first variable and the Mine Diesel to fill the second variable. This then gives you the Total used as you desire.
If you need further assistance with these rules please reach out to me (michael.dunbar@ibm.com) via email and we can set up a session to review the functionality.
Regards, Michael.
