Manually Post Scheduled Transactions

[pfwoolverton at juno.com]

Thanks David, Section 4.5 explains how to set a scheduled transaction.  I don't see how to manually post the scheduled transaction.   I scheduled a transaction to pay my water bill based on a prior transaction in the ledger.   It is set to occur on the 9th of every month.  I did not set the transaction to be created by GC.  I want to manually post the transaction.  Prior to posting the transaction, I want to set the date,  the amount, and add a comment in the notes field.  In the Template tab of Edit Scheduled Transaction, I can edit several fields including the note field and the amount.   The Date column shows "Scheduled" and does not allow me to set a date.  I do not see how to set the date to the date I pay the bill and I do not see how to manually post the transaction.  ---------- Original Message ----------

Have you looked at section 4.5 of the Tutorial and Concepts Guide? https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/txns-sxn1.html
 Let us know what that fails to cover. DavidOn Jul 23, 2017, at 10:54 PM, pfwoolverton at juno.com wrote:I am struggling with Schedule in GC 2.6.16.  I want to manually post scheduled transactions and have the transactions show dates I select.I reviewed the Concepts Guide and the Help Manual, and searched the user archives without success.  I have bits and pieces, but still do not understand how to manually post the transactions.My prior experience is with MS Money 3.0.  MS Money shows a window with a list of future transactions.  To post a transaction in MS Money, I select it and update fields such as date, amount, and memo.  Then I enter the transaction.  The transaction is posted and a new, future transaction is created in the list.I would like step-by-step instructions on how to manually post a scheduled transaction starting with a transaction which is not set to be created by GC.  Is there a source for such instructions?_______________________________________________gnucash-user mailing listgnucash-user at gnucash.orghttps://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user-----Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.You can do this by using Reply-To-List or Reply-All.
