Budgeting/report of current paid expenses for future periods

[David T.]

Hi, 
My low tech solution would be to add a code in the memo field for each transaction, e.g. "dc201611", do a find for that code, and create an account transaction report on the result. 
Cheers, David T.

I do lots of travel and want to keep track/control of how much I'll be
spending per week in the future based on my current outlays.  Sounds simple
enough, but many of my expenses that I incur now, are for a future period in
time.  Example.  If I have a trip to DC planned in 3 weeks and pay for
hotel, etc expenses in advance, eg now, I want a report that shows me how
much I'm spending for that future period, eg per week, not when I actually
paid the expense.  I'm not talking for tax purposes, but for my own record
keeping and budgeting.  Other than keeping a separate excel sheet and
recording the info on that, is there any way I can do that within GnuCash?
