Stan, see the attached screenshot.  You will notice the middle columns have no 
headings.  As you tab through the fields to enter: number, description (payee 
or your description), you will notice that the middle column then says account. 
 if you click in the space you will see the dropdown arrow where you can select 
the account to debit or credit or you can just start typing the account you 
want and let Gnucash offer up the account that match.  The columns that were ot 
Debit and Tot Credit changed to Debit Formula and Credit formula.  You can 
enter a formula to calculate an amount or you can just enter the debit and 
credits.

A simple example would be description: Interest which you would debit to the 
bank account and credit an interest income account.  This can be done during 
reconciliation, so I would not create a scheduled transaction for this, but you 
can.  Another example, would be a loan payment.  You would enter in the 
description an entry such as Ford Motor Credit, then in the account enter the 
liability account for the loan and then in the debit formula enter the payment 
amount minus the interest charge which would need to be debited on the next 
line to the proper interest paid account.  On the next line select the bank 
account you are paying from and in the credit formula column enter the payment 
amount again.


Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Scheduled Transactions

   I am attempting to set up my bank accounts in GNUCash.  At this point
   I’m trying to make scheduled transactions.  I have searched through the
   documentation that I could find and nothing explains the Template
   Transaction Tab.  There is nothing that explains what should be put in
   the different blocks.  I could probably figure out most of the blocks
   except I can’t find anywhere where you can put the amount of the
   transaction even though there is a block that says Tot Funds In, I
   can’t access it.  When I keep tabbing I eventually get to a blocks that
   say Debit Formula and Credit Formula.  No idea what these are and there
   is no explanation that I could find.  Can someone give me some help
   with this, because I have a fair number of them in the Quicken program
   that I am currently using.


   Thanks in advance,


   Stan
