[GNC] Monthly Payments on posted Liability?

[Adrien Monteleone]

You can't get the individual payments to show up in the Bills Due Reminder.

You can set up a Scheduled Transaction, but set it only to remind you in 
advance, but not auto-create. (or at least set it to let you review and 
edit it when it does)

These reminders when then show up in the Since Last Run dialog. (auto on 
startup, or manually from the Actions menu)

If you've used the Business features to post that original liability, it 
will show up in the Bills Due Reminder, but with the original due date, 
(which could be the final date if you like) and will adjust the balance 
due as you make payments.

In this case, when you make payments, you just "Process Payment" for 
that vendor and fill out the payment window. The posting of the payment 
will be done for you and you can track your payments to that particular 
vendor easily with a Vendor report.

Regards,
Adrien
