Jay, Have you tackled the Budget module yet?
It works on a ‘period’ basis, but might achieve some of the same info. (you can compare budget to actual, but not the way David does with specific transactions) You can also budget flows to savings accounts, paying liabilities, etc. There are some nuances and parts of the workflow is a little cumbersome, but it is overall, useful. Do be aware I noticed and filed a bug where automatically time-stamped transactions, Specifically posted invoices on the first of the month, are getting the wrong date/time-stamp and the budget report is interpreting them as the prior period throwing off my revenue actual comparisons to budget. (probably some sort of time-zone issue) Other than that I’m happy with it. The budget window will show you your running budgeted balance at the bottom for each period as you add revenue/income and then budget expenses or paying off liabilities. This was useful for me to budget savings and to budget advancing liability payments.
