Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
No, but your "spurious characters" mention turns out was spot on, although it took me a while to see it. There was an automatic transaction each month that was being created that had an erroneous and extremely long entry in the numeric column. Once I edited that entry everything was fine. I adjusted the automatic transaction as well so it doesn't happen next month. Thanks again for your help, it is appreciated and sorry it took so long to see the error of my ways.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
No and it is only in that one account. All other reconciliation windows are fine. The amounts are there and I can clear them by pressing the space key, I just can't see them. Don't know if the picture came through last time because it had other characters in the reply, so I'm sending it again. I notice now that there is no heading in the column, as on the right side. Is it possible the column has somehow become too wide?

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
Creating a transaction for a total amount as of a certain date doesn't seem particularly useful. What if you have a dispute, or a return, or a transaction that is not accurate, or needs correction? An automatically-created transaction will need to be corrected as well. Gnucash provides an option during the final step of the reconcile process to create a payment in the total statement amount. From an accounting perspective, this is the best point to create this payment. You have just established that your books and theirs match, and the amount due is confirmed.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
Thanks, While there is a way to not enter the amount, it is not an automated process, and, in a sense, it is not different from putting a random value and changing it later. Also, if a transaction can't be created automatically, it means it will be even more manual steps to get it done. What I was looking for is a scheduler checking the account balance and setting the value automatically. Maybe one day.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
Gyle, I believe you cannot create a transaction with a variable automatically created, i.e. do not check the second box in the editor screen. Then it will ask for a value when you run the since last run assistant.

Re: [GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
Derek, this is something I was looking for, however when I tried to put "total" in the debit and credit formula it wouldn't allow the "s. So I tried with the quotes and it wouldn't save the scheduled transaction. See the attach screen shot. Can you tell me what I did wrong?

[GNC] Scheduled transaction with variable amount
Hi there, I wonder if it would be possible to schedule a transaction with a variable amount. For example, if I want to schedule a credit card payment, I need to provide a fixed amount per transaction although we know that these amounts vary month to month. Instead, it would be nice to have a way to set a transaction that would just pay the balance every month. Please advise.
