When transactions are entered in advance they go in with the correct
transaction date in the future.  The actual current balance can still
be seen in the register, as can the estimated future balance after all
the scheduled transactions have gone through. This allows one to look
forward and make sure that there will be sufficient funds available.
I find this an extremely useful feature.
