David,
All of my scheduled transactions are set to be created on or about the 1st of the month so the balances show what I can count on for the month. Works best for me. On occasion, when I get paid early, I would just post the income early, on the day it is received. It’s really just my Army retirement deposit that comes early some months. It isn’t that important to mess with it any more than that for my purposes. I just wait till the first of the month to do my accounting. Still, if there were a feature to allow you to tell the program to go ahead and process a scheduled transaction “today” I would use it. Thanks for your input.

If you set your scheduled transactions to be created 45 days in advance, then your January 1, 2022 transaction will be created in mid-November (with a date of 01-01-2022), and you can change its date directly in the register at any point after that. Why is that any more difficult than what you're asking for?

All my scheduled transactions are set to post on the 1st of the month regardless of the date posted. Not worth the trouble to do more than that for an occasional early payment. Yes, it would be a nice feature that isn't essential and probably not worth the developers' effort. Not sure where to submit an enhancement request. Great program regardless, worth a lot more than it costs. Reminds me of Airforce MAC flights. There are three things you can say about a MAC flight if you get on one, 1. It's a free ride, 2. It's a free ride, and 3. It's a free ride. 😊 Happy new year, Roger -----Original Message----- From: Stephen M.

Need to enter an enhancement request to have that added during the copious amounts of free time the developers have! But, to get around that limitation, I do use the "Create in Advance" so it is in the register early (but for the scheduled date). That way I can just adjust the date on the transaction that is already waiting. That's the only way now to move a scheduled transaction earlier. Now, if you want an extra one, duplicate it from the prior month. --Steve On 12/29/21 16:15, <mailto:rmom...@gmail.com> rmom...@gmail.com <mailto:rmom...@gmail.com> wrote: Steve, Just want the option to trigger a post manually, not a permanent change in the schedule. As you do, I set up my scheduled transactions to post on the 1^st of the month regardless of the date of the transaction. I usually wait till the first to pay and post my bills to accommodate the scheduled transactions limitations. It would be like skipping a scheduled transaction for one month only the opposite, activating it early. Pick a scheduled transaction and tell the program to go ahead and post it today, on the 30^th of month prior to the next scheduled transaction date. Hope that explains what I’m looking for.

Do you want to permanently change the date the transaction fires? Or is this just a random change because it came early that month? Note: I generally have scheduled transactions automatically post 15-20 days early so I can see their effect in the registers of interest. If I note that the transaction posted on a date different, it is easy to change the date in that register. I haven't tried editing the general/overview panel on a scheduled transaction to see if the scheduled date could be permanently changed.

Be nice to have an option of advancing a scheduled transaction for example when I get paid before the end of the month. I don't see a way to do that. Hasn't been one as far as I know in previous versions. Just be a handy feature.
