I agree. It's kind of what I originally did except I didn't know the Since Last Run action. Not very elegant but it does get the job done so it's probable be they I do it from now on.
Thanks.

You will have to do some manual work. This is how I would do it:
1.  Edit the scheduled transaction to Create 15 days in advance.
2.  Run the schedule transactions since last run to create the entry in the journal and update the scheduler so it knows that transaction was already created.
3.  Modify the date on the just created transaction.
4.  Edit the scheduled transaction to revert the Create Days in Advance to original value.

That, to me, is the least painful method to get the entry to show up so you can edit it AND update the scheduler so it knows it was already generated for this month.

I have a transaction scheduled for the 15th  of every month. Today something occurred where I want to make that transaction today, the 4th, and have it count as if the transaction occurred on the 15th and the next scheduled transaction date is the following month without having to go thought the process of adjusting the schedule dates manually.

That's not what I was trying to do.
Is this scheduled transaction (Sx) the first of a series (A), or is it part of an existing series which is to be paid earlier than normal? (B)

If (A): create the Sx with the early start date, and adjust the Sx after that date has past.

If (B): duplicate last month’s (already created) transaction, and put in the desired date. Adjust the Sx so that its first payment will be next month.

If neither (A) nor (B) please explain what you are trying to do.

Regards,

Michael
