Don't give up yet. There is a rudimentary computation capability in the SX editor. It is used in the loan repayment calculator and it has been the topic of several threads here over the years. See chapter 8.8 in the help manual for a start. On Mon, Apr 6, 2020, 12:36 PM Adrien Monteleone < adri

Open the SX editor. Select the SX you want to copy. Click the Edit button. Click the Template Transaction tab. Click the Duplicate button. Does this help? Regards, Adrien > On Apr 6, 2020 w15d97, at 11:43 AM, Bob Atwell wrote: > > Unfortunately using splits and creating a scheduled transactio

Yes, they’ll be reordered. Technically, they’re all related to each other anyway. If a single real world event happens, recording it in various pairs of debits and credits is just an artificial division. A case can be made that it really is a single transaction. If one really needs to see the d

When Adrien says many split lines, he means many! I have a couple scheduled transactions that don't fit in one screen, ie more than 20 splits. On Mon, Apr 6, 2020, 9:52 AM wrote: >Thanks Adrien, that might actually be feasible. I'll try setting up a >test case to see if it really works

You can have as many splits as you like. (I’m sure there is a limit, but I haven’t found it) You don’t need to have 5 separate transactions unless they need to fire on 5 different dates. You can combine all of the splits into a single transaction. Regards, Adrien > On Apr 5, 2020 w15d96, at 7:

Then I would make it five scheduled transactions by simply right clicking in each one, select Schedule..., then choose repeat dates, etc, and edit any fields that change with some flag character that you recognize like two question marks, and that's it. On Sun, Apr 5, 2020 at 7:48 PM wrote: > W

When I said fairly complex I meant it is really about 5 transactions happening at once. So, I can't select one transaction and make it a scheduled transaction because that only gets me a fifth of what I want. On Mon, 6 Apr 2020 08:25:59 +1000, David H wrote: Hi Bob, Ive never done this but

Hi Bob, I've never done this but have you tried duplicating the last txn created by the scheduled txn, updating the date and values to reflect the new txn you want to schedule and then right clicking on the updated txn and selecting "schedule..." to create it as a different scheduled txn ? Cheers

You can create a scheduled transaction by starting from an existing transaction and editing it if desired. On Sun, Apr 5, 2020, 4:49 PM Bob Atwell wrote: > I want to create a new (fairly complex) scheduled transaction that is > almost identical to an exiting scheduled transaction. Is there a
