R Losey,
I have "Remind in Advance" set. And yes, it will show up in the SLR (at
least once it gets within the set number of reminder days). However, I
don't know what you mean when you say that I can select "To-Create".
There is no such button or option. Please describe in detail where I
can find and select such an option. FYI, I'm using GnuCash v5.12 Build
ID: 5.12+(2025-06-28).

select "To-Create" and it will be entered; I don't remember if uses the
scheduled date or today's date, but it is pretty easy to just change the
date manually this one time. I have an end-of-month transaction that can
be early if the 1st is a Sunday or a holiday Monday, and that's what I do.
Also, the date is usually just a rough indication-- you could just
forget about it and live with it.

Hi Gyle,
I wholeheartedly agree with you -- too many steps. Like I said, it's
not very elegant. As you also suggested, I'd also like to have just a
simple "Enter Now" button. But apparently there's not enough of us
interested in that.
I checked Bugzilla and found Enhancement Requests for just such a
solution going back as far as April 2014:
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727513 <https://
bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=727513>. If no one's made an
effort to add that feature in over 11 years, I guess we shouldn't hold
our breath. In the meantime, I at least have this solution that works
for me.
