Complicated Scheduled Transaction

Thu Aug 25, 2022 2:14 am
Been using kMyMoney for a while, so am fairly comfortable. Am now on SSI and can't figure out how to set up a scheduled transaction for it. In my case, my payment hits on the second Wednesday of every month. Is there a way to set up for this odd frequency? Thanks.

I have seen a feature request to the developers for this. I don't know if they are considering it.

I, too, would welcome it. As a work-around, I put "Second Wednesday" etc in the schedule title and adjust the date accordingly on each month's schedule.

Yes, they do! It's just a matter of developer time to get around to it. Since it's not an easy task and is possibly not 100% backward compatible some care must be taken. We don't want to ruin your data. Can you drop a link to the feature request here so that there is a reference for completeness? Thanks.

Here is the link to Bug 333093 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=333093. This seems to be the official one on the topic.

Note that there are also duplicate bugs listed as 338699, 351681, 403332 and 437726.

Thanks for the replies. My wife suggested another workaround. Create a one time scheduled transaction for each month on the appropriate date.

Yes. but really cumbersome. You would have to adjust 12 schedules each year. Computers should make your life easier not harder
