Thank you! I had completely missed the emacs part. I have been using ledger 
just in the windows command prompt.

Thanks and regards,

Matt

No, you have your regular transactions in the main file, scheduled
transactions in another, and then in emacs (you’re in the ledger-mode
documentation) you need to setup the schedule file:
(setq ledger-schedule-file "~/ledger-scheduled")
and *while editing the main file*, you hit C-c C-u and the scheduled
version will pop with the dates correctly formatted and ready to copy to
the main file.

So the scheduled transaction is handled by emacs and not at all by
ledger.
