[GNC] How to setup a Scheduled Transaction for full current Credit Card Balance?

[Sherlock]

Hi Stan,

If your definition of posted-in-advance transactions are transactions 
you have scheduled for bill pay where you know the amount and date of 
payment, there is no objection.  If your definition includes entering 
future transactions which have not been scheduled for bill pay or the 
amount or date is not known, I do have objection.

When you used scheduled transactions, it sounds like you checked the 
"create automatically" box for transactions you did not want to have 
automatically entered.  Personally, we don't use "create automatically".

Regards,

Sherlock
