Maybe what I am about to suggest is NOT how real-world route managers are
supposed to work -- so take it with that caveat. But I would think that if
your last waypoint before KSFO is 1000nm away, but you want to hold off the
descent until closer to KSFO, you could simply insert another waypoint about
50nm out at the cruise altitude, and the effect would be to "tell" the route
manager where to begin the descent.
Now, whether that's the "real-world"/"correct" solution, or just a work-around,
someone else will have to say...
Cheers,

I always use Route Manager for airline flights because of SID and STARs
that i will soon be using.
I have noticed that when I say for example if I set it to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
1000
NM away I end up at 900MSL way before KSFO, is that something that is
already inplanted or something not working?
Thanks
