[GNC] Billing terms / payment due x days from the end of the month

[Adrien Monteleone]

If using the Business Features and raising Bills for that Vendor, then 
set up terms either in the Vendor, or per Bill. (there is a separate 
Terms editor)

When you first create the Bill, if that Vendor has set terms, that will 
be populated by default, otherwise you can set it in that initial dialog.

Upon posting a Bill, when you enter the posting date, GnuCash will 
automatically calculate the Due Date. (which will be greyed out and 
cannot be edited)

-----

If not using Bills for this, create a Scheduled Transaction (SX) with 
the proper timing and a generic template transaction.

For amounts, use a term as a variable.

It would be a good idea to use the options to Remind in Advance, Review 
before Creation. I wouldn't use auto-creation for this one.

When the SX fires as it is due, you'll see a prompt for your variable, 
which would be the amount owed. On the Since Last Run dialog, be sure to 
check the box to  Review if it isn't checked. When you commit the 
transactions there, it will show a register view of any and all SXs that 
were just created. You can then adjust any as needed, such as this one, 
with specific notes, or line-item detail.

Personally, I'd take the Bill route here, but both can work.

Adrien
