I agree. It's kind of what I originally did except I didn't know the Since Last Run action. Not very elegant but it does get the job done so it's probable be they I do it from now on. Thanks. On 4/4/21 6:23 PM, Stephen M. Butler wrote: You will have to do some manual work. This is how I would

You will have to do some manual work. This is how I would do it: 1.  Edit the scheduled transaction to Create 15 days in advance. 2.  Run the schedule transactions since last run to create the entry in the journal and update the scheduler so it knows that transaction was already created. 3.  Mo

As I use Gnucash just for my personal expenses (there are plenty of those) and a couple of rental properties I take a totally different approach and just setup all scheduled txns to create automatically 60 days in advance. Makes it easy to see what's coming up cash flow wise especially if you set t

Jack, for a one-time issue like you describe, use Actions-> Scheduled Transactions-> Scheduled Transactions Editor to edit that transaction by changing it to Remind in Advance 15 days. Save transaction. then run Since Last Run to get it into the account register. Then edit it as needed. Altern

Or adjust the Create X days in advance and run for this month (as noted by another response), modify the date on the created transaction, reset the Create X days in advance to desired value.  All can be done without restarting GnC. On 4/4/21 6:24 AM, Glenn Fowler wrote: I can think of two way

I understand. In the program I switched from using there is an option to commit a future scheduled transaction immediately without making any adjustments to the calendar. Based on the responses it doesn't look like it can be done that easily with GNUCash. Which is okay. I'm just inquiring if i

I have a transaction scheduled for the 15th  of every month. Today something occurred where I want to make that transaction today, the 4th, and have it count as if the transaction occurred on the 15th and the next scheduled transaction date is the following month without having to go thought th

That didn't work because the transaction I wanted to enter early is scheduled for the 15th it doesn't show up in Since Last Run list. If fact nothing is listed when I run the Since Last Run. On 4/4/21 3:09 PM, Vincent Fu wrote: The way I would do this is: 1) Click on Actions->Scheduled Transa

Jack, You are not the first user that believes the Scheduled Transaction workflow could be improved. Over the years there have been suggestions for minor improvements to reduce the average number of keystrokes to implement each transaction to radical changes to the entire process. The existing p
