I use my ledger for planning and some amount of budgeting, not just recording 
what my bank thinks has happened.

My current process isn’t ideal, which is why I’m asking what others are doing. 
Last week got a utility bill with a payment due date of mid-February. Because I 
use a tool to bulk-generate recurring transactions for a target month, I now 
have a couple dozen projected transactions for the next 45ish days in my ledger 
that I don’t want to see when I look in Fava. Yes, I can apply date filters to 
limit the range, but those transactions are still going to show in other 
queries unless I limit the end date. It’s just working around those future 
entries that I’d like to avoid. 

Rather than bulk-generating recurring transactions once a month or so, I’d like 
to import them closer to when they’re projected to land, and avoid duplicates. 
This probably means working with beangulp, and I’m looking for existing tools 
or prior art for this type of thing.
