In release 2.6.19, which I am still using, it is found in the menu tree in the location Christopher Lam described. The help manual section for Account Tree > Actions > Scheduled Transactions > Mortgage & Loan Repayment... refers to a section called Mortgage & Loan Repayment Assistant which describes how it works. There used to be a reference to a section on the website about using variables in scheduled transactions, but I cannot find it today.
This tool works fine as far as it goes, to set up a traditional mortgage repayment scheduled transaction following the calculation methods traditionally used in the US. Unfortunately, it is not flexible enough to handle modern calculations involving daily interest calculations, prepayments, and other variations, but it can still be used to set up a reasonably good estimated split between principal and interest with or without escrow or insurance, but to keep an accurate running balance it is usually necessary to manually adjust each payment transaction in GnuCash when the payment is actually made to reflect the actual values reported by the lender. There have been many discussions over the years in the user maillist about these shortcomings. Many users, myself included, would appreciate work on improving this assistant.
