How to check upcoming tranactions by account

[Richard Ullger]

Russell,

You can get scheduled transactions to be automatically entered into an 
account a number of days ahead of the transaction date. Gnucash draws a 
bold blue horizontal line above any future transactions. You can then 
see any upcoming transactions in each account. Present and future 
balances are also displayed in the account's balances line. You can also 
get Gnucash to warn you of these transactions when it inserts them into 
the account.

Go to Actions->Scheduled Transactions->Scheduled Transaction Editor. 
Select a scheduled transaction and click the Edit button. On the 
Overview tab use the settings in the Options section.

If you're creating a new scheduled transaction you need to click on the 
Advanced button to access these options. You can also set the defaults 
in Edit->Preferences on the Scheduled Transactions tab.
