Account Balance Forecasting

Hi

 

Every so often I have a look at GNUCash to see if I want to move from
MS-Money, I know I'll have to leave MS-Money at some stage but after so many
years it will be wrench.

 

Anyway, one of the features in MS-Money that I have become dependent on is
the account balance forecasting tool, it uses a combination of

 

.         Future entered transactions,

.         Scheduled transactions, and

.         Budgeted items

 

To produce an account balance forecast. I use it to ensure I minimise the
balance in my current account, without going overdrawn, whilst maximising
the interest in my savings account.  With interest rates so low the benefit
is not what it used to be but it is something I really have got used to
doing and would like to continue doing.

 

Do we know if there is a way to do what I'm looking for or whether there is
development underway to produce such a forecasting option?

 

Those of you who are ex MS-Money users will know exactly the functionality I
am referring to which is within the bills scheduler.

 

Thank you for your help
