[GNC] Scheduled transaction for end of the day - bank interest

[Alex Sims]

Hi,

It’s the last day of the month and I’ve having the regular monthly difficulty with scheduled transactions. My bank will credit interest to my account at the end of the day, e.g. midnight tonight and it will show on the bank statement with a date of 31 July 2025. I currently have it as a scheduled transaction for the last day of the month. If I open GnuCash today it will offer to put in the transaction in with today’s date before it has happened and I don’t know until it happens what the amount should be. I also have another scheduled transaction not from the bank that is on the last day of the month and happens in the morning and isn’t a problem. I have two work arounds:


  *   Don’t use GnuCash today and open GnuCash tomorrow, It will then add the scheduled transactions for 31 July 2025 on 1 August 2025
  *   Schedule the bank transactions for the first day of the month but it then doesn’t line up with the bank statement

Ideally, I would like to schedule a transaction to appear to me when starting GnuCash on 1 August 2025 but the transaction would have a date of 31 July 2025. Not sure how to do this, “create in Advance” with negative one days would work, but that’s really “create in the Past” and the minimum allowed is zero.
