You *can* set a scheduled transaction to create x number of days in advance. It's in the transaction settings. If you want these created automatically, there's a program setting for that as well.
Many have noted in the past that the scheduled transaction routine only runs at startup automatically; if you never close GnuCash, you have to trigger the process manually. David T.
