"A transaction that is to be excuted at a specific time, either once or at several times in regular intervals."

The SX is not necessarily executed in the future. I can have an SX that's scheduled on the 15th (like a direct deposit or withdrawal), but don't run GNUCash until the 20th. In that case, the transaction is entered in the past.
