I have not really used this but perhaps using the scheduled transaction
editor in the following way might accomplish what you want.
Create a scheduled transaction but mark only Enabled, Reminder and Days
in advance. Set the frequency and approximate posting date. Create a
transaction template. When you select Scheduled Transactions Since Last
Run, each scheduled transaction within time interval between posting
date less days in advance and posting date will appear as a reminder in
the list. For those that you are ready to post, change Reminder to To
create. The template transaction will be created and then you can edit
the transaction itself to set the correct amounts.
If the goal is to save typing, both the ability to duplicate
transactions and the fact that gnucash tries to match what is being
typed in the Description to an existing transaction can be helpful.

Thanks David, Section 4.5 explains how to set a scheduled transaction. I don't see how
to manually post the scheduled transaction. I scheduled a transaction to pay my water
bill based on a prior transaction in the ledger. It is set to occur on the 9th of every
month. I did not set the transaction to be created by GC. I want to manually post the
transaction. Prior to posting the transaction, I want to set the date, the amount, and
add a comment in the notes field. In the Template tab of Edit Scheduled Transaction, I
can edit several fields including the note field and the amount. The Date column shows
"Scheduled" and does not allow me to set a date. I do not see how to set the
date to the date I pay the bill and I do not see how to manually post the transaction.

Have you looked at section 4.5 of the Tutorial and Concepts Guide?

Let us know what that fails to cover. DavidOn Jul 23, 2017, at 10:54 PM,

how to manually post the transactions.My prior experience is with MS Money 3.0.
MS Money shows a window with a list of future transactions. To post a
transaction in MS Money, I select it and update fields such as date, amount,
and memo. Then I enter the transaction. The transaction is posted and a new,
future transaction is created in the list.I would like step-by-step
instructions on how to manually post a scheduled transaction starting with a
transaction which is not set to be created by GC. Is there a source for such
instructions?_______________________________________________gnucash-user
