This is one area in which GNUCash falls down IMHO. The accounts package I
used to use on RISC OS had a simple accounts screen which showed, for each
account, what the current balance was today and at a date in the future
(which I set to the end of the month) taking in to account all scheduled
payments. The enabled me to see if I could pay, for instance, a credit card
bill now and still be able to cover all my standing orders for the rest of
the month. I have not found the way to do this with GNUCash.
