I think There is an option for place holder account wherein, one can allow or restrict posting transaction. It may be checked what option has been selected.

Re: Placeholder accounts and scheduled transactions (Gyle McCollam) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 31 Jul 2024 07:08:39 -0700 From: "Stan Brown (using GC 4.14)" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: GnuCash User List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: [GNC] Placeholder accounts and scheduled transactions Message-ID: <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 This month I changed "Cash and Banks" to a placeholder account, and added subaccounts for actual cash and each of my bank accounts. But I have a couple of scheduled transactions that credit or debit Cash and Banks, and I forgot to change those. To my surprise, when the transactions fired, GC happily put the splits into Cash and Banks, even though Cash and Banks is now a placeholder account (I checked). I would have expected some sort of error message when those transactions fire, ideally with some sort of popup to let me designate a non-placeholder to take the split this time. I'm at GC 4.14, so if 5.8 no longer posts SX to placeholder accounts there's not much point in my entering a bug. But if the behavior is still the same then I think bug report is appropriate.

Go ahead and file your bug report.
