You aren't missing anything -- it's not there. The transactions don't exist
in your accounts until they've been created. You can even create a
scheduled transaction without an amount -- you can put variables in the
register and the "Since Last Run" dialog will prompt to fill in the
amounts, for instance.

If you already know the transaction amounts and you merely want to keep
sufficient balances, you could go ahead and enter future-dated transactions
into the register. Or you could schedule future-dated scheduled
transactions a month (or however long) in advance so you don't have to
enter them all at once.
