But do they need to be _scheduled_ transactions? When my credit card
statement comes in, I check it against my records, then enter a
transaction dated on the day the payment will be made, since I now know
the exact amounts. That keeps both my checking account and my credit
card account up to date for all past _and_ known future transactions. So
I can look at either account's register and see what the balance will be
on any desired date.
