[GNC] How do you do this - differentiate scheduled transaction versus no scheduled one

[Kalpesh Patel]

This suggestion looks more appealing. I will most likely will go with this idea for my first question.

For second question, to keep the date accurate, creating a transit account will be more involved to maintain it for what it is worth so for now I am going to stay without it and do mental math if things are off. 

Nonetheless these are very good suggestions and thanks to all for providing input on how to solve some of the workflows.

Hi,
A suggestion I’ve followed since I saw it on this list years ago, is to put SCHED in the Num field. I used to remove it after I have ensured it was correct, but now I leave it there permanently to help me understand where it came from if there is any confusion later on.

Regards,

Chris Good
