Description Boris Zbarsky 2008-12-03 03:21:49 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Every single one of my regular transactions (paycheck, automated investments, rent payments) happens on either the last weekday before a given day (paycheck, rent) or first weekday after the given day (automated investments).  There's no way to express this in the scheduled transaction editor.

Even better would be a way to indicate in the editor that it should be a non-holiday, not just a weekday, but that can run into problems with the definition of "holiday", of course.  I realize "weekday" is also somewhat locale-dependent (e.g. in Israel or in Muslim countries weekends are not Saturday and Sunday), but there would be fewer possibilities to choose from there.

Steps to reproduce:
Try to enter a scheduled transaction for paycheck transaction which is defined as (and I quote):

  All employees are paid semimonthly on the 15th and the last day of the
  month.  In the event that a regularly scheduled payday falls on a day off
  such as a weekend or holiday, employees will receive pay on the last day of
  work before the regularly scheduled payday.

Actual results:
No way to do this.

Expected results:
Have some way, at least in the "Advanced" view, of entering such a scheduled transaction.

Does this happen every time?

Ah, sorry.  I'd read all the bugs with "schedule" in the summary before filing, but missed the "SX" part.  :(
