Adrien Monteleone has given one method, I use a different one.

Without going through my entire boring "scheme of works" for the last 
day of the month I do want to enter all scheduled transactions for thee 
following month (you call it "cash flow purposes", I call it "fear of 
going into the red"). To do that I
(1) close GnuCash;
(2) set the system clock to a later date (in my case the last day of the 
next month):
(3) open GnuCash, click the necessary buttons and check that all the 
transactions have appeared (in my case in my current/checking account);
(4) close GnuCash;
(5) Reset the system date.

I use Ubuntu and I find sometimes (not very often) the change of date 
doesn't "take", that is why the checking is necessary.

Different, not better

Best wishes

Eric
