Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-05 Thread Jack Frillman via gnucash-user 
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.

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.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread Stephen M. Butler 

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.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread David H 
As I use Gnucash just for my personal expenses (there are plenty of those)
and a couple of rental properties I take a totally different approach and
just setup all scheduled txns to create automatically 60 days in advance.
Makes it easy to see what's coming up cash flow wise especially if you set
the Register preference to have the blank line between today's txns and
future txns :-)

Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread D. via gnucash-user 
There is literally nothing that prevents you from simply creating the 
transaction on the date you want, the old fashioned way-- that is, manually. 
Autofill will make entry straightforward. 

If, by chance you fail to prevent the normally scheduled transaction from 
getting created, you simply delete the extra one when you reconcile. I do that 
all the time.

Subject: Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

I understand.

In the program I switched from using there is an option to commit a 
future scheduled transaction immediately without making any adjustments 
to the calendar. Based on the responses it doesn't look like it can be 
done that easily with GNUCash. Which is okay. I'm just inquiring if its 
possible or not because I didn't see an obvious way of doing it.

As for your suggestion of volunteering to work on the project I may be 
interested in doing that when I complete my current project in next month.

I have been looking for a code writing project since retiring.
What's involved in getting set up?

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread David Carlson 
Jack,

for a one-time issue like you describe, use Actions-> Scheduled
Transactions-> Scheduled Transactions Editor to edit that transaction by
changing it to Remind in Advance 15 days.

Save transaction.

then run Since Last Run to get it into the account register.  Then edit it
as needed.

Alternatively, just find last month's transaction and copy it to today's
date and edit it as needed.

the Create X days in advance to desired value.  All can be done without 
restarting GnC.

The only way I could see how to do it was going into the scheduled
transactions options, adjusting the day ahead value, exit GNUCash,
restart and change the day ahead value back to zero.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread Jack Frillman via gnucash-user 

I understand.

In the program I switched from using there is an option to commit a 
future scheduled transaction immediately without making any adjustments 
to the calendar. Based on the responses it doesn't look like it can be 
done that easily with GNUCash. Which is okay. I'm just inquiring if its 
possible or not because I didn't see an obvious way of doing it.


As for your suggestion of volunteering to work on the project I may be 
interested in doing that when I complete my current project in next month.


I have been looking for a code writing project since retiring.
What's involved in getting set up?

You are not the first user that believes the Scheduled Transaction

keystrokes to implement each transaction to radical changes to the 
entire process.


The existing process works.  If it ain't broke

There has been no significant change in the last decade, so we are 
waiting for a volunteer to step up with a good idea and the time to 
devote to the project.


If you have some time...

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.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread Jack Frillman via gnucash-user 
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.

Re: [GNC] Entering A Scheduled Transaction Early

2021-04-04 Thread Jack Frillman via gnucash-user 
That didn't work because the transaction I wanted to enter early is 
scheduled for the 15th it doesn't show up in Since Last Run list. If 
fact nothing is listed when I run the Since Last Run.


On 4/4/21 3:09 PM, Vincent Fu wrote:

The way I would do this is:

1) Click on Actions->Scheduled Transactions->Since Last Run
2) Change the "Status" column for your transaction from "Reminder" to 
"To-Create"
3) Check the "Review created transactions" checkbox at the bottom of 
the window

4) Click on OK
5) Adjust the date in the new tab for the newly created scheduled 
transaction(s)


Hope this helps.

That's essentially what I did and that's not what I want to do. If I 
have to go through that I might as well enter it manually.
I was look for doing something like double clicking on the scheduled 
transaction and having it commit right away.






It is not necessary to re-start GnuCaash to trigger the Since Last Run 
action.  Simply click Actions > Scheduled Transactions > Since Last 
Run...and the SLR assistant runs..


If you want to make another change to the settings, then click Actions
