That's an interesting question, I encounter the same problem every now and 
then. However, if we had two different dates, the books would not balance 
in between this date interval. I think the only "real" solution would be 
to have an "account receivable" (A/R, in german: "Forderungen" IIRC) 
account on the asset side. On the date when the money is subtracted from 
the original account, the amount is transfered to the A/R account. On the 
date when it arrives in the destination account, it is transfered to it 
from the A/R account which will then be empty again.
