Hi Stan,
The solution you have described calls for entering the scheduled
transactions into the registers months in advance and correcting the
transactions with the actual amounts, etc. when they're known. This
probably works well for automated transactions. Any future transactions
requiring a user action to be actualized need to be managed appropriately.
Similarly, it shouldn't be too difficult to maintain the future credit
card payment transaction. The amount could be manually updated to
reflect the running balance on the future close date. Then, the running
balance in the payment register could be reviewed to determine if a
transfer of funds is required.
I'll be sticking with my implementation.
Regards,
Sherlock

So, No. In my opinion, they don't suffice.
But do they need to be _scheduled_ transactions? When my credit card
statement comes in, I check it against my records, then enter a
transaction dated on the day the payment will be made, since I now know
the exact amounts. That keeps both my checking account and my credit
card account up to date for all past _and_ known future transactions. So
I can look at either account's register and see what the balance will be
on any desired date.
