[GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount

I found that is the problem. When I maximize the reconciliation window I see the scroll bar. When I scroll all the way to the right I see the other columns. However, it will let me make the 2nd column bigger, but it will not let me make it smaller. I can adjust the other columns either smaller or larger, just not that second column.
Thank You,

Gyle,
It looks like there are some spurious characters somewhere in your data. Do you see problems in any other windows such as import windows, the chart of accounts or other places?

Speaking of reconciliation, I have a problem with deposits not showing on one of my accounts and I don't know why this is happening (see below). I didn't include the right side, which is fine, because it shows other banks and credit accounts. Even if I maximize the page it doesn't change.

Creating a transaction for a total amount as of a certain date doesn't seem particularly useful. What if you have a dispute, or a return, or a transaction that is not accurate, or needs correction? An automatically-created transaction will need to be corrected as well.
Gnucash provides an option during the final step of the reconcile process to create a payment in the total statement amount. From an accounting perspective, this is the best point to create this payment. You have just established that your books and theirs match, and the amount due is confirmed.
If you're not seeing this dialog during the reconcile process, you have turned the feature off for that account, but it can be reset. Just don't ask me how...

Thanks,
While there is a way to not enter the amount, it is not an automated
process, and, in a sense, it is not different from putting a random value
and changing it later. Also, if a transaction can't be created
automatically, it means it will be even more manual steps to get it done.
What I was looking for is a scheduler checking the account balance and
setting the value automatically.
Maybe one day.
Regards,
Aleksandar

Gyle,
I believe you cannot create a transaction with a variable automatically
created, i.e. do not check the second box in the editor screen. Then it
will ask for a value when you run the since last run assistant.

Derek, this is something I was looking for, however when I tried to put
"total" in the debit and credit formula it wouldn't allow the "s. So I
tried with the quotes and it wouldn't save the scheduled transaction.
See
the attach screen shot. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

Hi there,
I wonder if it would be possible to schedule a transaction with a
variable
amount. For example, if I want to schedule a credit card payment, I
need
to
provide a fixed amount per transaction although we know that these
amounts vary month to month. Instead, it would be nice to have a way to
set
a transaction that would just pay the balance every month.
Yes, just put a variable (string) in the debit/credit formula. Eg,
"total". When the SX fires, it will ask you for the actual amount to put
in.
Enjoy.
Please advise.
Regards,
Aleksandar
