Scheduled transactions appearing twice

Asked by Brian

I have just started using this and have a problem. I have created some scheduled transactions but they are appearing twice in the monthly preview; once as the date they were started (in green) and once when the date has passed and they have been entered (in red). This means the balance on the month preview is different to the actual balance. I suspect it should only show items that have not passed yet but I do not know.

I believe that Monthly View was designed that way that it includes all transactions, including scheduled to show you the estimated budget, not the current one.

Hi,
I raise the question since the problem is, I think, not understand. We agree with the fact that the month preview must include scheduled operation, but the fact is that the scheduled operation appeared twice in the month preview for the month the operation is created. The first time it appears is for the day we create the operation, whatever the beginning date of the scheduled (even a month later). The second time it can appear is the day the operation is planed, so I think it is the one which has to appeared.
I don't know if I am clear because of my poor english, so I'm going to write an example.
Today, may 26th I planned an operation, for example $100, and I write in this scheduled that I want the first instance for the june 5th and a monthly recurrence. In the month preview of may I will have an operation, in green, wich corresponds to this operation I just create. I think it is not good. And if I create the operation the 15th of the month for an instanciation on the 20th of each month, the first month will show two operations, one for the 15th and one for the 20th, what it is, I think, not the expected behavior.
Best regards

Hi,
I have the same problem...

I create a schedule transaction and it will be repeated monthly... On the scheduled day, the amount is debited from the account and the scheduled transaction is changed automatically to the next mounth... But on "month preview" it appears twice, one in red and another in green... i think its not correct.. the scheduled transaction would appear only for next month, because in actuality it has been paid ..

thx
