When setting up a scheduled transaction (or later, by editing it) you
can choose how far in advance to trigger the transaction.  For
instance, if you want the month's scheduled entries to all show up on
the 1st of the month, set up the things scheduled for the 5th to
trigger five days in advance, the things scheduled for the 20th to
trigger 20 days in advance, and so on.  Then run Actions -->Scheduled
Transactions-->Since Last Run..., any time after midnight, to create the
entries for the month.  For variable transactions you can estimate the
amount to a close approximation, easily corrected when you get the bill.
A thick blue line will separate past from future in the register.
There is great flexibility in how far in advance you want to enter any
scheduled transaction.
