Re: [GNC] Entering Scheduled Transaction Early into account register.

Tim,

Are you running the latest GnuCash  -- v5.16?  If you are, then in the 
top menu bar of Scheduled Transactions there should be a "Run" button 
just to the right of the "Delete" button.  Clicking that Run button 
should allow you to enter whatever transaction you currently have 
highlighted, regardless of the scheduled date.

Tom
