[GNC] How to Enter a Scheduled Transaction once the Date has Passed?

[David Carlson]

Tom,

The scheduled transactions are only evaluated by the Since Last Run 'Druid'
or assistant.  That, by default, runs when GnuCash opens the data file.  I
looked under Edit > Preferences > Scheduled Transactions and unchecked the
option to 'Run when data file opened' and checked the next two options.
The  Since Last Run Druid can also be run manually under Actions >
Scheduled Transactions > Since Last Run...  Read the Help manual
chapter 8.2. “Since Last Run” Assistant to learn how that works.  It always
evaluates the entire list but it gives the user a chance to modify the
specific action for each transaction before it completes the process.
