I know this is slightly off topic to your question, but I have a feeling, 
that   such feature would conflict with  double entry accounting, because 
the  fundamental idea of double entry that all postings happen exactly on 
the same moment, hence debit and credit (plus and minus in PTA terms) are 
always equal.

The situations, for which such feature was often requested that for 
instance you transfer money from Bank A to Bank B, but transfer takes a 
couple of days can be implemented with 2 transactions

E.g.

2024-01-01 * "Transfer from Bank A to B initiated"
   Assets:BankA                        -1000 USD
   Assets:Funds-InTransfer         1000 USD

2024-01-03 * "Transfer from Bank A to B received"
   Assets:BankB                          1000 USD
   Assets:Funds-InTransfer        -1000 USD
