I sometimes take 'direct deposit advances' from my bank. When my weekly paycheck is depositted, the bank system triggers an automatic repayment of the advance plus a finance charge.
In GnuCash, I've learned how to set up an automatic transaction for the paycheck deposit, but not one for the DDA repayment. I don't do a DDA every week, but some weeks I do it twice... What I want is for GC to automatically create the repayment transactions when there is an outstanding DDA after the paycheck transaction is posted. A static automatic transaction is not quite the right thing. Perhaps a special feature for posting a DDA could schedule the repayment just as the bank does, to have it happen right after posting the paycheck? A dialog could take the initial information, like the amount and the finance charge, then post the amounts to Assets::Current Assets::Checking Account, Liabilities::Direct Deposit Advance::DDA Advance and L::Dir::DDA Fees, plus create the one-shot scheduled transaction. Q: Can this be done using scheme and current GC features? In thinking about this, it seems to me that a generalized mechanism for creating this sort of dialog would be very useful. If the widgets could be done in a way that Glade can use them, and if Glade was designed (or refactored?) so that it could run in a slightly restricted mode for this sort of application, it would be cool. By restricted, I mean like filter the set of available widgets, and restrict it to filling out a dialog box... ? Or should it be allowed the full set of features? I'm not sure. -- Karl Hegbloom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
